As your spine is stretched it takes pressure off the spinal disks, which are gel-like cushions between the bones in your spine, by creating negative pressure in the disc.

This helps take pressure off nerves and other structures in your spine and ultimately leading to less pain and discomfort. This can also help increase the movement of other nutrient-rich fluids, water, and oxygen into the disks to promote healing.

First visit. Very impressed with the professional attitude from the entire staff. Dr. Nick made me feel very comfortable and I received great service from the rest of his team. Thank you!
Dr. Shelton saved me when doctors couldn’t! I woke up one morning in excruciating pain and could not move my head. Doctors kept giving me muscle relaxers and hoping it would go away but nothing helped. I went in to see Dr. Shelton and within the first few adjustments I could move my head again. Without him I would still be bed ridden! The work he does is life changing. He is patient, explains everything and cares about each person who comes into his office. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs relief from chronic pain!
Dr. Sheldon took care of a problem that had been bothering me with horrible neck pain and a non stop headache for almost two weeks. He knew exactly what to do and I totally appreciate his work. Very informative as well so I felt very comfortable and confident that he was on top of my physical issues. I highly recommend him to anyone that has frame issues.
Shelton Chiropractic in Salem is awesome! They really listen to my concerns and personalize my care to what I need.

First time visiting Shelton Chiropractic. Dr Shelton was very professional and friendly and listened to everything I had to say. The adjustments he made were very helpful.
I have a history of back problems including a back fusion. I go weekly to Doctor shelton to keep my spine aligned and prevent any further problems. Today, however I picked up my Granddaughter and felt my back go out.<br>Doctor Shelton was able to give me a treatment that made an immediate difference for my acute pain. I trust him completely to know how to help me with chronic as well as acute pain? Thank you, Doctor Shelton.
I highly recommend Shelton Chiropractic. They are friendly, professional, and they provide outstanding service. Appreciate that Dr Nick took the time to listen and explain the process clearly to me. I’ve been dealing with nerve pain on my feet especially my right foot for few months now. I took Tylenol and nerve pain meds but neither of the meds work. . I love to walk and exercise every day but I stopped because of the nerve pain on my feet. Heard from my sister about Shelton chiropractic and decided to give it a try. Went home after the first appointment and I already feel the difference. I feel confident to continue my path to pain free with this practice. Thanks to Shelton Chiropractic 🙏
We love Dr. Shelton! He is so gentle and really listens to what we need and what the body needs! He has worked on my husband and I as well as my kids. He’s so great with the kids as well. Will go here till we die!
Dr. Nick did an amazing job helping me correct years of back pain. I didn’t know relief was possible until I started consistently showing up for my appointments! To anyone considering a chiropractor, Dr. Nick is the man! 10/10 would recommend!
I saw Dr Shelton for a horrible sciatica issue. He was so kind, and informative. I was really worried about my condition but he eased my mind and I feel so much better after only 3 visits. His receptionist Autumn is so sweet too. Would definitely recommend them.
Dr. Shelton is a fantastic chiropractor. Efficient, knowledgeable and genuinely kind. This is my second time coming to him during my pregnancy and he always heals my SI joint pain in literally ten minutes!
Dr. Shelton was great to work with! I came up to visit family, and needed help with a rib that was out and causing significant pain. He was able to get me in and resolve my issue, and give me some tips and exercises to help keep it from happening again. I'll be following up with my regular chiro when I get home, and Dr. Shelton sent me everything I needed to be able toget my chiro up to speed on my situation.<br><br>Thank you for making my vacation so much better!!

If you are looking for a great hometown Chiropractor then Shelton Chiropractic is for you. I can’t believe the difference I have seen in my back. Dr. Nick and Autumn are great.
I used to be skeptical about maintenance chiropractic care and only went when something hurt. Since starting biweekly visits with Dr. Shelton, I’ve experienced better flexibility and fewer aches and pains. He’s gentle, listens carefully, and explains everything clearly. The front office is friendly and always accommodating. I highly recommend Shelton Chiropractic—it’s made a real difference for me
Very impressed with Autumn at front desk and Dr. Shelton. Both were very friendly, personable, knowledgeable, efficient, informative. Office clean and uncluttered, but welcoming. Will be back to make sure I stay lined up through last month of pregnancy with the Webster technique. Will definitely be referring friends and family.
Such a great experience! Dr. Shelton was amazing. So much knowledge too.<br>Love the front desk Secretary as well. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. Going back for another appointment tomorrow.
Very personable. Works with all the different issues each member of my family has, and has helped so much. Going in to see them is always a positive experience, not just for the physical relief, but the genuine kindness you get as soon as you come in the door.
Best chiropractor I’ve ever been too! My family and I go bi weekly and we have never felt better. My kids are athletes and Dr. Shelton helps them to stay properly aligned for optimal performance and safety! We love Shelton chiropractic!
Wow! So impressed! We have been to so many other doctors for my son‘s back and he knew right off what was wrong. He was so kind and accommodating. We are excited to proceed with my sons treatment.
Had the best experience! The sweet lady at the front desk was super nice! Then with the dr he checked my baby out did the adjustment and was just overall absolutely amazing!! I definitely recommend coming here!!
So grateful! My daughter fell on the stairs about 1/2 hour before closing time for most chiropractor clinics. Although she said she was fine and was able to walk around normally, I was concerned! Other clinics were unwilling to schedule her at such late notice. The Dr. at Shelton Chiropractic was willing to wait for us and spent time after closing hours. We were able to get an x-ray, which gave me a peace of mind that everything was okay.
Their now place is nice. Love the equipment and environment.<br>I fell boarding and couldn't breathe right for a few days. Doctor Nick fixed me the first visit! It was a dislocated rib.<br>Dr. Nick also fixes my sidadic pinch during pregnancy. He's great! Kind and careful.
I love my experience here. My body feels so much better, the exercises have helped as well. My posture is better the numbness in my feet has gone away. I been going for an almost 3 years now!
After a lifetime of sports related and motorcycle crash injuries, I have utilized many different chiropractic offices. Nick was able to alleviate pain issues for me, rejuvenate healthier movement, and educate me on the medical issues at hand with direction and practices to maintain the benefits of his care. He's a great practitioner, a vast reservoir of applicable knowledge, and maintains a relaxing, refreshing atmosphere in his clinic. Highly reccomend.
