Back pain can be debilitating, and it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. Chiropractors are experts in diagnosing and treating back pain, and they can help you get back to your life quickly and comfortably.
Back pain is a sharp, localized pain in the spine that occurs when nerve cells in the spine are sending abnormal signals to other parts of the body. The source of back pain can be from a wide variety of structures, including muscles and ligaments, intervertebral discs, joints, or nerves. In addition to being extremely painful, back injuries can lead to long-term problems if not treated correctly. In some cases, lower back pain may also have an emotional component due to the impact on quality of life. Back pain sufferers often experience depression and anxiety along with poor sleep patterns that could potentially lead to insomnia. This has a ripple effect on daily activities and family relationships.
Chiropractors specialize in identifying the source of a patient’s back pain and treating it accordingly. This may include manipulation, mobilization, or other manual therapies to relieve strain on spinal joints and musculature. Chiropractic care has been shown to be effective in reducing both acute and chronic low back pain symptoms.
There are many reasons you might experience back pain. Some of the most common causes include:
Chronic back pain may have a different set of causes from acute back pain. In some cases, the initial cause of the pain was never correctly identified and treated. This can lead to a condition called chronicity, where back pain becomes a long-term problem with few relief options.
Some common causes of chronic back pain include:
A disc bulge is a common cause of low back pain, and it occurs when the soft inner substance of an intervertebral disc pushes against a thin outer wall. This causes lower back pain due to compression on nearby nerves and tissues. A herniated disc is a more serious condition that happens when the thin outer walls are compromised, resulting in a portion of the disc’s contents pushing outside the affected area.
In both cases, chiropractic treatment can have a profound effect on your symptoms. The first step involves identifying which region is causing your back pain so that your doctor can administer an effective treatment plan for you.
When your spine is out of alignment, it can lead to muscle strain or pressure on your joints and nervous system. This affects the way your brain interacts with certain regions and can cause pain and discomfort in your back and other parts of your body.
Subluxations occur when a joint has lost its normal range of motion due to injury or some other factor that impairs proper spinal function. Over time, this abnormal movement causes wear and tear that eventually leads to arthritis and chronic low back pain.
At Shelton Chiropractic in Salem, we’ve been treating subluxation for years with excellent results. We’ll perform a complete health assessment so we can determine which areas need treatment first. Our goal is to restore mobility as quickly as possible so you can get back to your regular activities without pain.
Stress can play a major role in your back pain, and it oftentimes exacerbates a pre-existing condition. Learning how to manage your stress through relaxation techniques or other effective methods can help you avoid worsening pain that prevents you from engaging in normal activities.
Managing stress can have a big impact on your life, but it can be difficult to find the time or energy to incorporate stress management into your daily schedule. This is where having a chiropractor in Salem that specializes in holistic methods can make a difference.
If you’re experiencing back pain, you might assume the best course of action is to take ibuprofen or use heat packs. While these methods provide temporary relief, they don’t address the root cause of your pain.
The most effective way to ease chronic back pain is through active chiropractic care that can help restore spinal function and mobility. At Shelton Chiropractic in Salem, we’ll perform a complete health assessment so we can determine which areas need treatment first. Once our doctor identifies your issue, they’ll create an individualized treatment plan for you with long-term goals in mind.

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. I always feel welcome and cared for every time I’m there, and I leave feeling like a million bucks. I would definitely recommend Shelton Chiropractic to anyone looking for great chiropractic care!
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.
Amazing care! Made sure I was comfortable and educated!!! Dr. Nick Shelton is amazing!
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 🙏
Easy in and out. Treated target areas and was thorough and gentle.
They leave you feeling very valuable and they’re very open minded I really appreciate working with them.

Dr Nick has gifted hands. After the treatment I had immediate relief. The office staff was very attentive to my needs.
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!
They were able to get me right in! Staff is really friendly. Dr. Shelton was able to pinpoint my problem..fix it and followed up.
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.
Dr. Shelton genuinely cares about his patients and their treatment. For a small-town operation, it's a quality and efficient process!
Dr. Shelton take the time to make sure you start feeling better.
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!
Great hospitality! From the front desk to the doctor. I would recommend for anyone.
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!!
Highly recommended. Experienced, knowledgeable, and showed concern for patients. First time visit and I got the care I needed.
Shelton Chiropractic is a hidden gem in Salem, Utah. Dr. Shelton helped the pain in my neck. He was very gentle but got the job done. Thank you!
So glad to fund a new Chiropractor that cares and takes care of each of his patients. Looking forward to feeling better soon.
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.
Friendly staff, great service and Nick did a fantastic job!<br>I feel great!
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.
