Our Approach

Every Treatment Plan Starts With Understanding Why.

“Most patients come in knowing where it hurts. Our job is to figure out why.”

We evaluate how your body moves, where restrictions exist, and what is driving the problem before we ever recommend a treatment. From there we build a plan around you, drawing from chiropractic adjustments, laser therapy, shockwave treatment, myofascial therapy, and massage depending on what your condition actually calls for.

Each service below is a tool.

Depending on what your evaluation reveals, your care plan may draw from one or several of them. Every patient’s combination is different — and that is the point.

Chiropractic Adjustments

All three doctors

All three of our doctors provide full spine chiropractic adjustments tailored to your specific needs. Using a combination of diversified, drop table, and instrument-assisted techniques, we focus on restoring proper joint motion, improving mobility, and reducing mechanical stress so you can move and feel your best.

Chiropractic adjustments work by targeting restricted or dysfunctional joints in the spine and extremities. When joints stop moving properly, surrounding muscles compensate, nerve communication is affected, and pain patterns develop over time. Restoring motion to those joints allows the body to stabilize more efficiently and begin recovering the way it is designed to.

Adjustments are commonly used for neck pain, low back pain, headaches, disc injuries, and a wide range of extremity conditions including shoulder, hip, knee, and ankle pain. Every adjustment technique is selected based on your specific condition, comfort level, and how your body responds throughout the course of care.

Class IV K-Laser Therapy

Certified providers

Class IV K-Laser therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment that uses high-powered laser energy to reduce pain and inflammation while accelerating the body’s natural healing process. Treatments are quick, comfortable, and effective for both acute injuries and chronic conditions.

Laser therapy works by delivering concentrated light energy deep into damaged tissue, stimulating cellular repair at the source. This process improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports faster tissue recovery without injections, medication, or downtime. The result is a treatment that addresses the biological environment of healing rather than simply masking symptoms.

K-Laser therapy is commonly used for muscle strains, joint pain, tendon injuries, nerve irritation, and chronic inflammation. It is also used as a complementary treatment alongside chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue therapy to accelerate recovery and improve overall outcomes. All three of our doctors are certified in Class IV laser therapy.

Shockwave Therapy

Gold standard for tendons

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in damaged tissue. It is widely considered the gold standard for chronic tendon injuries and is designed to reduce pain and restore function without injections or surgery.

Shockwave works by delivering focused acoustic energy directly into the affected tissue. This increases blood flow, breaks down scar tissue, and triggers the body’s natural repair process at the cellular level. For patients who have tried other treatments without lasting relief, shockwave therapy offers a clinically supported path to recovery that addresses the tissue damage driving the problem.

Shockwave therapy is commonly used for plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinitis, and other chronic tendon conditions that have been slow to respond to traditional care. It is particularly effective for persistent overuse injuries where the tissue has not fully healed on its own.

Myofascial Therapy

With Dr. Christian Salt

Dr. Christian Salt provides a variety of myofascial treatments designed to reduce muscle tightness, improve mobility, and support faster recovery. This hands-on soft tissue therapy targets restrictions in the muscles and fascia to relieve pain, restore movement, and enhance overall performance.

Myofascial therapy works by identifying and releasing areas of tension and restriction within the muscles and surrounding connective tissue. When fascia becomes tight or adhered, it can limit movement, create compensation patterns, and contribute to chronic pain that does not resolve with adjustments alone. By addressing the soft tissue directly, it restores mobility at a deeper level.

This treatment is particularly effective for patients dealing with chronic muscle tightness, movement restrictions, sports injuries, overuse conditions, and recovery from repetitive strain. It is commonly used alongside chiropractic adjustments to address both the joint and the surrounding soft tissue simultaneously.

Therapeutic Massage

With Danni & Dora

Danni and Dora are skilled massage therapists dedicated to helping patients reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, and recover faster. They provide therapeutic, results-focused massage tailored to each patient’s needs to support pain relief, circulation, and overall wellness.

Therapeutic massage works by targeting tension patterns in the muscles and soft tissue that contribute to pain, stiffness, and restricted movement. Unlike relaxation massage, the approach here is clinical and intentional. Each session is designed around what your body specifically needs rather than a standard routine.

Massage therapy is particularly valuable as part of a broader chiropractic care plan. When muscles are tight and guarded, the benefits of an adjustment can be limited. Addressing the soft tissue first or alongside chiropractic care allows joints to move more freely and helps the body hold corrections longer.

Why Our Approach Is Different

More than an adjustment. A complete path to recovery.

We believe the best outcomes come from treating the whole person, not just the painful area. Every service we offer exists within a larger framework designed to identify what is driving your problem, address it directly, and build the foundation for lasting improvement.

— 01

Your pain has a source. We find it first.

Most pain has a story behind it. Our job is to read that story before we start writing the treatment plan. That means taking the time to evaluate how your entire body is moving rather than focusing only on where it hurts.

— 02

Three doctors. One family. One standard of care.

When you are a patient at Salt Family Chiropractic, you are not assigned to whoever is available. You are cared for by a team that knows your history, understands your goals, and holds itself to a shared standard built over nearly three decades.

— 03

Treatments most chiropractic offices don’t offer.

Not every condition responds to adjustments alone. That is why we invested in Class IV laser therapy and shockwave treatment — two advanced modalities that allow us to treat tissue damage, chronic inflammation, and tendon injuries that require more than hands-on care.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis rarely starts and ends at the foot. We evaluate foot posture, ankle mobility, calf tightness, and gait mechanics while also addressing contributing factors up the chain through the knee, hip, and pelvis. Treatment combines soft tissue therapy, corrective exercise, and shockwave treatment.

Neck Pain

Neck pain is one of the most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care and one of the most mismanaged. We assess spinal alignment, joint motion, muscle tension, and posture patterns to identify what is actually driving the problem, then build a plan using adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and corrective exercise.

— 03

Low Back Pain

Low back pain is one of the top causes of missed work and reduced activity, and it rarely has a single cause. We evaluate the lumbar spine, pelvis, hips, and surrounding muscles, then build a plan using spinal adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and rehab-based strengthening to restore movement.

— 04

Headaches

Most headaches do not start in the head. Tension, restricted joint motion, and postural strain in the neck and upper back are common drivers of both tension headaches and cervicogenic headaches. We evaluate the cervical spine and surrounding musculature to find what is contributing.

— 05

Extremity & Joint Pain

Chiropractic care extends well beyond the spine. We evaluate and treat pain and dysfunction in the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, and ankles. Treatment may include extremity adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and customized rehab exercises to restore stability and control.

Sports Injuries

Whether your goal is pain relief, faster recovery, or improved performance, our sports chiropractic approach goes beyond treating the injury itself. We evaluate mobility, stability, and movement patterns to identify what contributed to the problem and build a rehab-based plan.

Disc Injuries

Disc injuries can cause more than back and neck pain. Tingling, numbness, burning sensations, and weakness are all signs that a disc may be affecting nearby nerves. We perform a detailed evaluation including orthopedic testing, neurological screening, and movement assessment.

Pediatric Care

Children experience more physical stress than most parents realize, from sports and backpacks to screen time, falls, and rapid growth changes. Our pediatric chiropractic care is gentle, age appropriate, and designed to support healthy movement, posture, and spinal development.
