Sophia and Dr. Shepherd currently make up the High Five Chiropractic team! Sophia is a chiropractic assistant whose background was primarily in medical assistant. She has worked in a variety of private practice clinical allopathic settings which include pediatrics, family practice, pulmonology, sleep, and OBGYN as well as experience in hospital and urgent care! She is primarily from Texas, but has worked in Colorado and Missouri in addition to the beehive state. She is married, has two children, and enjoys roller derby, karaoke, out door adventures, flowers, gardening, dining out, and spelunking. She is a  fan of Glenn Beck, live theater, and cultural arts! She hates sewing but loves to play the flute and read a lot!

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions and ultimately in your hands. According to equipped a high five is a celebratory gesture made by two people each raising one hand to slap the raised hand of the other. Obviously this requires effort and force to have the desired effect! When done correctly they also make you feel good! Here at High Five Chiropractic, our desire is to introduce you to the simplicity of true health care and make it accessible to you and your loved ones! Finally you can afford to be pro active about your health instead of reactive!

Our commitment is two-fold:

1.  Relief Care

When many people seek care in our office they typically have one goal: relief. So that’s where we start! During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health problem
  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
  • Explain value of post-symptomatic wellness care
2. Wellness Care

Alot of our practice members begin here! We encourage our patients and their family to achieve the highest level of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website or our PHD's/ practice health discussions), we hope to communicate the value of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our practice members abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model. Wellness isn't a myth. We sell it here, and we see lives change frequently.

You’re the Boss

We see ourselves as mere servants. Regardless of your health goals, we can offer you the finest chiropractic, acupuncture, and massage care possible, and it's up to you to decide how much of it you want. Ultimately it's your body, your health and your future. If you are still unsure about chiropractic care we warmly invite you and your entire family to come to our free PHD's "Practice Health Discussions" held monthly! Here we can have a informal question and answer period in a relaxed environment.Sound interesting?

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.
