Pain can change how you move.
An injury can change how you work.
Loss of mobility can change how you live.
At InterState Medical Group – Disc Centers of Salem, we specialize in helping people with musculoskeletal injuries, spine conditions, joint pain, nerve-related symptoms, and movement disorders get back to doing the things that matter to them.
We are not limited to treating the spine.
We evaluate and treat problems involving the neck, back, shoulders, arms, hands, hips, knees, legs, ankles, feet, muscles, joints, discs, nerves, and surrounding soft tissues.
Some patients come to us after an automobile accident, and often times have been in multiple auto accidents in the past. This complicates diagnosis and treatment.
Some are injured at work while driving. Workers Compensation Insurance comes into play here, so inform your supervisor you would like to make a W/C claim.
Some develop pain gradually after years of lifting, sitting, driving, working, competing, or simply living an active life.
Others have been told they may eventually need injections or surgery and want to explore conservative options first.
Different problems require different solutions.
That is why we don’t build our practice around one treatment.
Listen. Understand. Improve.
Movement is Our Medicine.
Restoring Function is Our Mission.
Our Salem clinic evaluates and treats a wide range of acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions.
The neck is one of the most mobile regions of the spine and one of the most commonly injured.
We evaluate patients experiencing:
The goal is not simply to make your neck hurt less.
We want to understand why movement has become painful or restricted and what can be done to improve it.
Back pain can range from a short-lived muscle strain to a complicated disc, joint, nerve, or degenerative condition.
We commonly evaluate:
For appropriately selected patients, care may combine chiropractic treatment, rehabilitation, spinal decompression, soft-tissue treatment, therapeutic modalities, and home exercise rather than relying on a single approach.
A disc problem can affect much more than the back itself.
Patients may experience:
Disc-related conditions require careful evaluation because similar symptoms can come from different structures.
At InterState Medical Group, we evaluate the patient’s neurological and musculoskeletal findings before determining whether conservative treatment such as spinal decompression, chiropractic care, rehabilitation, Class IV laser therapy, or other therapies may be appropriate.
Diagnosis First. Treatment Second.
Not every headache starts in the head.
Problems involving joints, muscles, movement, and other structures of the cervical spine may contribute to certain types of headache.
We evaluate patients experiencing:
Headaches can also have causes that require medical evaluation outside of chiropractic care.
Our responsibility is not simply to treat a symptom.
You don’t have to have back pain to be treated at InterState Medical Group.
We evaluate many conditions affecting the upper extremities, including:
Treatment may involve the joint itself, surrounding muscles and fascia, rehabilitation, movement mechanics, or even another region contributing to the problem.
Movement depends on the entire kinetic chain.
A painful knee may change the way you walk.
A hip problem may affect the lower back.
An ankle injury can alter mechanics throughout the leg.
We evaluate:
Depending on the condition, treatment may combine joint care, soft-tissue techniques, rehabilitation, therapeutic exercise, laser, shockwave, and other conservative therapies.
InterState Medical Group has extensive experience evaluating and treating people injured in motor-vehicle collisions.
Common auto accident conditions include:
Our approach extends beyond simply treating pain.
We document examination findings, monitor functional limitations, reassess progress, and modify treatment as the patient moves from the acute stage of an injury into rehabilitation.
We also work with patients utilizing Oregon Personal Injury Protection — PIP — benefits following automobile accidents and can help with the clinic-related documentation and information required during the treatment process.
Injured in an Accident?
Get Evaluated.
Understand Your Injury.
Start Moving Forward.
Work-related injuries aren’t limited to dramatic accidents.
Hours of lifting, reaching, sitting, standing, driving, repetitive movement, or physically demanding work can place significant stress on the musculoskeletal system.
We evaluate conditions involving:
Our objective is not simply to decrease symptoms.
You don’t have to be a professional athlete to have a sports injury.
Runners, lifters, golfers, hikers, cyclists, student athletes, weekend athletes, and active adults can all develop painful movement problems.
We evaluate:
Treatment can progress from controlling pain and restoring movement toward strength, stability, and return to activity.
Recover Motion.
Restore Function.
Return Stronger.
Sometimes the primary problem is not simply a joint.
Muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues can become painful following trauma, overuse, repetitive work, athletics, or prolonged compensation.
Patients may experience:
Our multimodal approach allows us to combine manual treatment, massage therapy, instrument-assisted techniques, rehabilitation, laser, shockwave, and other therapies when clinically appropriate.
Numbness and tingling can have many causes.
Symptoms may originate from the spine, peripheral nerves, muscular compression, injury, or medical conditions requiring additional evaluation.
Patients frequently come to us with:
Because nerve-related symptoms can sometimes indicate a more serious condition, proper evaluation is especially important.
If your findings suggest that another healthcare provider, advanced imaging, laboratory testing, or specialist evaluation is appropriate, we believe the right thing to do is make that referral.
Not every patient comes to us because of a recent injury.
We also work with patients whose pain or mobility problems have developed gradually over months or years.
These may include:
Our objective is realistic:
Improve what can be improved.
Restore the motion that can be restored.
Increase function.
Build independence.
Many healthcare offices are built around one primary service.
InterState Medical Group is built around the patient’s problem.
Our Salem facility brings multiple conservative treatment technologies and disciplines together so your care can evolve as your condition changes.
Depending upon your diagnosis and clinical needs, treatment may include:
Not every patient needs every treatment.
And more treatment is not always better treatment.
When someone tells us:
“My back hurts.”
That is the beginning of the conversation.
Not the diagnosis.
We want to understand:
What happened?
What structure may be involved?
What movement has been lost?
What activities can you no longer perform?
What makes the condition better or worse?
Are there neurological findings?
Is imaging appropriate?
Is this condition appropriate for conservative care?
What needs to change for you to regain function?
That information helps us build an individualized treatment plan rather than simply treating a body part.
We care about your pain level.
But we also care whether you can:
Those are the outcomes that matter.
When clinically appropriate, InterState Medical Group believes in beginning with conservative approaches before progressing to more invasive options.
Our role is to help determine what level of care is appropriate for your condition.
Sometimes that means treatment in our office.
Sometimes it means diagnostic imaging.
Sometimes it means co-management.
And sometimes it means referring a patient to another provider because their condition requires something we do not provide.
The goal is not to keep every patient.
Healthcare should not feel mysterious.
We want our patients to understand:
You participate in the decision.
You participate in the recovery.
And ultimately, we want you to need us less, not more.
If pain, injury, stiffness, numbness, weakness, or loss of mobility is keeping you from doing what matters, let us determine whether InterState Medical Group is the right place to start.
You don’t have to know exactly what’s wrong before calling us.
That’s what the evaluation is for.
Listen. Understand. Improve.
Restore Motion. Rebuild Function. Encourage Independence.
