Dr. Brad Asks some important questions of interest to Salem residents - Chiropractor Salem Dr. Brad Asks...

Why do so many drugs require a prescription?
Because they can be dangerous? I chose a chiropractic career specifically because it avoids artificial means of pain relief. Our Salem chiropractic practice attracts health-conscious families that prefer a safe and natural solution. Ready to get started? Call our office today.
How does headache medication find the headache?
It can't! Chiropractors know that when you ingest a drug and it enters your bloodstream it numbs or deadens your entire body. Chiropractic adjustments, on the other hand, are specific, targeted and delivered with precision.
