InterState Medical Group

Dr Michael T LoGiudice Doctor of Chiropractic InterState Medical Group CEO

For nearly two decades, I have dedicated my career to one guiding principle: restore function first, and the body often follows. While pain may be the reason patients seek care, I believe pain is only one part of a much larger story. My mission is to identify and address the underlying causes of dysfunction, helping patients regain movement, independence, and confidence in their bodies.

As the Founder and CEO of InterState Medical Group, me and my team have built one of Salem, Oregon’s most elite and comprehensive non-surgical spine and musculoskeletal rehabilitation centers. InterState Medical Clinic integrates advanced chiropractic care with spinal decompression with Class IV laser therapy and  shockwave therapy. We also utilize rehabilitation, regenerative medicine, therapeutic massage, advanced physiologic technology, and evidence-guided conservative care—all under one roof. This multidisciplinary model reflects my belief that the best outcomes occur when multiple therapies work together rather than relying on a single treatment approach.

Dr Michael T LoGiudice Doctor of Chiropractic InterState Medical Group CEO

From Dr. Michael T. LoGiudice:

Healthcare is not about just treating pain. It has always been about helping people regain something far more important— How They Can Stay Independent.

That philosophy was shaped long before I became a Doctor of Chiropractic.

I spent 22 serving in the military as a Reconnaissance Marine and later serving as a Combat Medic, medical instructor and retiring in 2018. Those years taught me valuable lessons that continue to guide my life and my practice today: listen carefully, prepare thoroughly, never stop learning, take responsibility for the people entrusted to your care, and never give up simply because the problem is difficult. Leave no patient behind.

I carried these principles into healthcare.

After earning my Doctor of Chiropractic D.C.  degree from the University of Bridgeport College of Chiropractic, I returned to Oregon and began building a career centered as a musculoskeletal & rehabilitation specialist, always having the goal on the prize;  restoring function. Almost 20 years later, I founded InterState Medical Group,  Disc Centers of Salem in (Marion County) Salem, Oregon

My clinical philosophy is straightforward:

Pain deserves attention. Function deserves restoration. Independence deserves protection.

Rather than asking only, “Where does it hurt?” I believe us clinicians must ask a more important question:

“Why is this person no longer moving, functioning, or living the way they should?”

That approach has shaped InterState Medical Group into an elite non-surgical spine, joint, and injury center where chiropractic care, spinal decompression, rehabilitation, advanced physiotherapy, soft-tissue treatment, Class IV laser, shockwave therapy, massage therapy, regenerative medicine collaboration, diagnostic imaging, and other conservative technologies can work together under one roof.

I have extensive experience managing complex spine and musculoskeletal conditions, including disc injuries, sciatica, radiculopathy, chronic neck and back pain, whiplash and auto injuries, occupational injuries, sports injuries, and extremity conditions involving the shoulders, knees, hips, ankles, and upper extremities.

But technology and credentials are only part of the equation.

I believe exceptional healthcare begins when a patient feels heard.

Patients should understand what is happening to their bodies. They should understand their options. They should participate in decisions about their care. And whenever possible, the goal should not be lifelong dependence on treatment—it should be helping patients recover enough strength, mobility, confidence, and understanding to move forward on their own.

That belief has become part of the culture of InterState Medical Group:

Movement is our Medicine.

Motion Wins.

Stay Independent As Long as Possible.

My team and I  will continue to serve Salem area patients, injured workers, individuals suffering from automobile accidents, athletes, families, and military veterans through both private practice and VA Community Care. My military service may have ended, but my commitment to serve will not end.

Today, my mission is simple:

To listen first.

To understand the problem.

To restore movement.

To rebuild function.

And to stand beside every patient who is ready to move forward.

Because movement restores function.
Function creates freedom.
And freedom changes lives.

What Our Clients Say
I came to this clinic after a car accident, and from my very first visit, Dr. Michael helped me with my neck and back pain. I also saw Dr. Emilia and received a TPI treatment, which provided immediate relief. I started feeling much better within the first week. I would like to thank both doctors for their professionalism, care, and excellent treatment. I also want to mention that the entire staff is very friendly, welcoming, and always willing to help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for quality care and effective treatment.

I was struggling with severe back pain that had taken away from work. They were able to get me in same day. The office and staff are phenomenal. The salt room was amazing. The doctor was kind, informative, and thorough. I left feeling so much better and was able to walk and sit comfortably immediately. The best chiropractor I've seen hands down.

I'd always been afraid to visit a chiropractor's office, but I'm so glad I did because I've felt so much better since my visit. Dr. Michael and Dr. Cohn have helped me feel so much better. I have less and less pain with each visit. I love getting regular adjustments, and even the TPI injections have helped me tremendously in managing my muscle pain. The massages are a really nice and relaxing bonus; the staff knows what they're doing and is always super friendly and helpful. A 10/10 experience!

Dr. Michael is absolutely amazing! He really knows his stuff. My husband wasted years of time and money on other chiropractors who did very little to relieve his pain. We were becoming concerned for his future and his ability to run his business. After just 2 visits he feels like new. Dr. Michael is truly a blessing from God!
