Salina Family Chiropractic Take Control of Your Health Today!

Chiropractic is unique. People develop their own healing abilities. They create a greater level of health and well being. We coach the nervous system to be well on its own rather than getting a Doctor to fix you. People become more positive about themselves, have less anxiety and depression, quality of life improves, more self awareness, and a better ability to adapt to change. People begin to make more constructive lifestyle choices for themselves.

What if you could go from having pain to No pain? What if you could go to not being in-touch with your body, to being in-tuned with your body? The first goal of Chiropractic is to reacquaint oneself with ones body. When someone has Pain/Crisis/Symptoms we have a knee jerk reaction to want to get rid of that pain as quickly as possible. But really it means we have something amiss in the body. Pain is a call for change. What Chiropractic is, is an answer to that call. Reconnecting one to the body, mind, and spirit.

I had terrible power back pain for 2 years prior to going to Salina Family Chiropractic. After my first visit, I noticed many changes in my health. Not only was my back pain getting better but I also noticed improvements in my digestive system and sleep. I recommend Salina Family Chiropractic to anyone who has chiropractic needs. The staff and chiropractors are all very nice, caring, and friendly.

I highly recommend this place! All of the staff are very knowledgeable and take their time to listen to get to know what treatment would be the most helpful. They truly have their patients' best interest in mind. I came here a few years ago while about 8 months pregnant and baby was breech. I know 100% that the adjustments helped baby turn and I felt very encouraged and impowered to deliver which was a big shift from the anxiety I had been having.

Thank you Dr. Salina and staff! I recently have been coming back for some neck and back pains and have been neck-pain free since my first appointment which has been such a game changer in my day-to-day life! I have also started on some suggested supplements that have already been very helpful with sleeping better. Again, I highly recommend!

Let's start off with that I am a big guy, so it's difficult for me to find someone that can "move" me around. That was not the case when I went to Salina family chiropractic. Not only do they exemplify the feeling of family in the office, as everyone is extremely polite, but they are also very professional. What brought me in was having several ribs out of place for quite some time.

It got so bad that I could not sleep, because every time I took a breath pain shot through my rib cage. In the span of three months I was a new man and felt better than I had ever before. I consistently go back whenever I need an alignment.

I had substantial health issues through 2020 year. Spent a lot of money on testing with doctors and nothing ever came up as a culprit. My symptoms made normal life very difficult to carry on with, however, so I needed to do something. It was suggested that Salina's Practice might be able to help. Well over a period of 6 months (Nutrition Testing, Adjustments, Supplement Plans) my health has demonstrably improved, significantly!

As I have worked with this practice, I have realized how much I wasn't supporting my body in the past. I feel like I have gotten a huge health education and am much better equipped to continue a healthy lifestyle. For anyone who is or has been in a similar boat, I highly recommend the Salina's practice. They will get you on a better path.

Dr. Salina is AWESOME and AMAZING! He is a miracle worker! I couldn't move my neck. It was so painful! He was able to take care of one side (which felt good) and said my neck on the other side was inflamed (that side was still painful). So he had me come back the following day. I did, he did the adjustment, and my neck feels so much better! It's still a little sore, but I can move my head from left to right now.

Also his staff, Mackenzie in particular, does everything in the office. She is so nice and friendly and works with me, in regards to my L&I claim. They are so understanding. I would 100% refer them because they are AMAZING! Thank you, Dr. Salina!

From my very first adjustment I knew I had found a perfect chiropractor for my aching spine. He is very gentle but, he sure knows how to adjust my body and get rid of my pain! The whole clinic is very caring and kind. I have been seeing Dr Salina for seven years so after my grandson had a serious motor cycle accident and broke his back he started having horrible back pain.

I ask Dr Salina to just check him out and see if he could do anything. Well, after just a few adjustments my grandson had quit hurting and was able to get off of pain pills! So please give Dr Salina's clinic a try! I love that place!

Excellent chiropractor! Was visiting from out of town and had some back issues from sleeping on a pullout bed. Was able to get a couple adjustments that got me heading in the right direction before heading home. Highly recommend coming here.

The staff at Salina Family Chiropractic is SO nice and helpful. I have been seeing Dayna Turner for about a month now and I have seen a 180 degree difference in the way I feel! She has figured out issues with my gut etc I would have never dreamed of and I am already well on my way to feeling FABULOUS. I can't wait to see what the future holds!

Salina Chiropractic has been such a blessing to me. You can feel God's peace and blessing over this office as soon as you walk in. They have helped me navigate and heal through some important health concerns. I highly recommend them as an essential part of your personal health care team! Positive, friendly, caring, competent staff. They are easy to talk with and truly care about their patients as total persons. I have personally seen Dr. Salina, Dr. Hailey, and Dayna, their FNP-C! Each practitioner is amazing.

I have found a spectacular chiro fam! In addition to the chiro, I also see Dana, functional medicine practitioner downstairs in the same office building. I see Dana for bloodwork analysis as well as Nutritional Testing. I like that she blends both. I see Dana for my thyroid/autoimmune protocol. My daughter, 6, who has the same spine issues as me, is on a 3 month chiro/myk protocol.

I like the unlimited care for the number of weeks deal. I was sad when my insurance ended bc it was such a stress relief to go mult times a week for adjustments. I've been dealing with stiff neck since I was a young child. Chiro care has helped me tremendously for overall pain relief. I previously went to an upper cervical chiro but I like the full body because after childbirth my hips were very crooked and upper cervical did not help with my hips at all.

They are very family friendly and even have a "family room" with books and toys to entertain little ones while I'm adjusted. My son (3 yrs) looks forward to going bc he loves the book collection. They accept our BlueCross insurance as a plus.

I would highly recommend Salina Family Chiropractic. The staff and Dr Salina are very friendly and professional. I was only able to have 9 treatments, but in that time my sciatic nerve pain was reduced. The only reason I stopped my treatments there was because I moved out of the area.

Great and friendly staff. I went there with a neck issue. I happened to mention that I've been dealing with a shoulder issue too.one that I've seen specialists for numerous times, had MRIs for, cortisone shots for and never got any relief. ONE SESSION with Dr. Salina and some simple massage technique from one of his staff and my shoulder pain was 75% gone! Go figure. Two birds with one stone! I'm sold and won't go to anyone else now.

This place is amazing. I was traveling for work and only in town for a day and hurt my back. They got me in, no wait time when I arrived, and the staff here is wonderful. Dr. Salina was so thorough and understanding and did everything he could in one visit (he knew I had to hit the road the same day) to help me feel better. My pain level was a 9 when I walked in and a 5 when I walked out.

Throughout the rest of the day it went down to about a 2-3. That is impressive after only one visit! I am so grateful they are here since I travel to Spokane regularly for work. I highly recommend.

Absolutely phenomenal service! I walked in with multiple ribs out of place, was taken back and adjusted right away and given the knowledge to help strengthen my motions. The staff was so kind, understanding and really there to help. 100/10 recommend

I was able to get relief just after two appointments, and felt so much better! Thank you to the great staff. However I was taken back 20 min after my original appointment time for both times. Something that I'm not a fan of, especially with busy days at work or just life!

Our newborn had a rough go her first several weeks. My lactation consultant recommended chiropractic care so we decided to give it a try. After only a few visits, our baby went from failure to thrive to gaining 18 ounces in two weeks. She started creating her own curve and we were able to keep her 100% on mama's milk! I wish I had this knowledge early on, if I could do it over again I would have both my babies get adjusted right after birth! Hailey and Salina Family Chiropractic has been amazing for us and I would highly recommend them!

I took my 4 week old in to get checked out. Breastfeeding for him & I was very painful. He wasn't able to latch properly & was just causing so me much pain. Before bringing him in, I saw 6 lactation nurses & even took him to the dentist to look for a tongue & lip tie. I was ready to give up on breastfeeding. Finally my last lactation nurse I saw suggested we see a chiropractor.

Immediately after his first visit his latch was better. I wish I would have taken him in sooner, it would have saved a lot of tears & emotional distress. I highly recommend them, especially to you mamma's out there who are struggling with nursing.

I have always been a little skeptical about chiropractic care, until I started going to Dr. Salina. Our whole family has been amazed at the difference it has made in our lives & bodies, even our daughters. It has given us the ability to actually start living life again without pain & discomfort all the time. Josh is a remarkable man who really knows what he is doing, plus he actually cares and it's very easy to see his passion to help others.

I went from having terrible back pain for so many years that hindered everything I tried to do. With his help I am FINALLY not in pain & have been working out at the gym & finally able to be my best self without the constant pain. We all highly recommend Salina Chiropractic and wouldn't trust anyone else.

Dr. Hailey Descoteaux is WONDERFUL! I don't say that lightly. I have always been hesitant when it comes to chiropractors and especially during pregnancy. I went in to see Dr. Hailey at 37 weeks pregnant and finished out my pregnancy seeing her. she did adjustments which helped tremendously and also gave my simple things I could do at home to help.

I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Hailey during any part of pregnancy. she knows her stuff and I feel very confident recommending her to any expectant mom who is having hip or back pain of any kind! Thank you Dr. Descoteaux!

Ok so about 2 weeks ago just sitting in my chair at work my back starts hurting so bad that within a couple minutes I am laying on the floor in my home office. I crawl my way to the couch and spent the rest of the day either laying on it or trying to get on it. Wife takes me to urgent care I get some muscle relaxers which helps enough that I can sit up for about 5 minutes at a time as long as I am leaning back but at least I can walk a little.

Next day to my primary care who says well maybe bulging disc here is some steroid and pain pills to go with your muscle relaxers and lose weight. Feels good enough on drugs to sit for a few hours at a time. Then I run out of steroids a couple days later it happens to be Christmas and my back starts hurting again but at least I can walk sort of. Desperate I start looking for a Chiropractor thinking maybe just maybe I can get a little relief.

Not having much faith in them. I got into see Dr. Salina and I sorta walked in got the initial examination he tells me what he thinks is going on off to the other side of the office for some X-Rays then back to the Dr. Salina. He gives me an adjustment and within a couple minutes I am up and walking normally almost pain free. He has been treating me for almost a week and the Chronic Shoulder pain I have had since surgery 10 years ago is gone and my back feels 15 years younger. My primary care said lose weight and I agree with him I need to and am. However, Dr. Salina was able to give me back function not just a prescription.

I brought my husband and kids in to see Dr. Salina and he was a tremendous help. The facility is great and very kid friendly. The staff was kind and helpful. Dr. Salina did an amazing job making the kids feel comfortable and addressing everyones' issues. We were very pleased and will be back.

We have been getting our 6 week old adjusted for his acid reflux. The progress he has made in just a few weeks is incredible and the best part is no medications at such a young age. There is a huge difference immediately in how my son acts. He is happier and sleeps better after being adjusted. I highly recommend Salina Family Chiropractic. I feel like my son is in extremely capable hands and it is helping his overall health not just the reflux. They also have very reasonable prices for children which is a plus considering our insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care.

For quick results along with gentle treatment that will inspire your body to heal and thrive naturally resulting in optimal results and function; physically, mentally and emotionally for the entire family; Salina Family Chiropractic, is the place to go! My achy lower back pain and sciatic nerve pain were miserable. My husband was frankly, tired of hearing me complain about it.

He was able to make an appointment for the same day that we called the office, for the first time. I was smiling, feeling relief, and feeling much more energetic, right away. We decided to take our entire family (of 8) regularly and treatment has inspired lifetime changes, benefits and resultsee, for each one of us. Our kids are growing more comfortably, playing sports more confidentiality, with more flexibility, agility and ease!

As a family we used to pass around a flu bug or 2, or even 3, each year. Ever since we started treatment 2 years ago, we have not had a flu bug in our home! It is obvious to my husband, myself, and my children that this type of treatment and care; only inspires the most excellent function, of the entire body. I also appreciate that Dr. Salina took x-rays at our first visit, offering a visual understanding along with taking the time to explain the functions of the Nervous system in relation to treatment and benefits, before he offered us Chiropractic care.

Hi, I'm Sue and I've been a patient with Dr. Salina for almost a year now and am really impressed with him. When I first came in, my left arm was numb from the shoulder down to my fingers and half my left hand didn't have full feeling. I thought I would just see him a few times and maybe get well enough to somewhat function, but never get back to some of the activities I had previously enjoyed.

I had no idea that chiropractors could actually retrain your body to function better if you worked with them over time. So I began a journey I didn't even know existed. During these months, I have begun to feel so much better. I was very limited in what I could physically do when I started with Dr. Salina but within a few months I began to start doing activities that I had always enjoyed years before -- bicycle riding, walking 4 to 6 miles, and kayaking.

Not only could I now do these activities but my body was strong enough for me to confidently make plans and know that I would be able to show up and not have to cancel due to pain. Prior to Dr. Salina my only experience with a chiropractor was a few different thirty-minute appointments to "fix" whatever back issue I had at that particular time. I didn't know that a whole other type of affordable chiropractor existed that you could work with two to five times a week for short appointments with gentle adjustments that slowly change how your spine, neck, head, etc. align.

But now I understand and I can't tell you how much I appreciate all that Dr. Salina knows and does for each his clients. I happily say this since during this week I had the joy of both snow shoeing and cross-country skiing on Mt. Spokane - activities I wasn't sure I would ever be able to do again.

Dr. Salina is a very skilled Chiropractor, his adjusting techniques are as good as it gets. I'm very happy to have found him while on vacation and finding myself in need of an emergency adjustment on my shoulder & clavicle from a recent injury. I would almost consider flying back to Spokane from San Francisco just to see him again for a few more adjustments!

I have been visiting Dr. Salina for over a year. His office is different from others I have visited in that the setting is more relaxed and yet still very professional. He is willing to spend the time necessary to understand your overall health needs. Dr. Salina is passionate about his profession and this shows in his level of care and commitment to ongoing education. I have experienced overall improved health and relief from neck stiffness and headaches.

Salina Family Chiropractic is amazing! I came to the practice several months after a very rough and high risk pregnancy which cause my son to be born at 32 weeks. I was not in good health. I had low back pain, was over weight, suffered from headaches, was addicted to sugar and had high blood pressure. After only 3 months of care of from Dr. Salina of adjusting and supplements, my health has improved by leaps and bounds.

I have lost weight, I am no longer addicted to sugar, I don't get headaches and my blood pressure has improved significantly. I feel so much healthier. After spending a year submersed in the medical profession, chiropractic care has been so refreshing to be involved in. Dr. Salina cares for my health, is extremely knowledgable and informative and has educated my husband and I with articles and DVD's.

He has given us the power over our health. We can't thank him enough. The office is a friendly and warm place, so welcoming to my two rowdy boys. I highly recommend Dr. Salina!

UPDATE****I went back to Salina to get another adjustment, and i really like him. He is super nice, and the adjustment was really good. I would recommend him. he is a family guy, and you can tell he is. for those who care to read the original post i wrote, here it is: I have had a history of neck pain because i tend to carry all my stress in my neck.

I am from seattle, and have been to same chiropractor in seattle, whom i loved and went to for a couple of years. however, since moving to spokane for school, i started feeling neck pain again. i decided to check Salina Family Chiropractic out, and i got adjusted by him once, just recently. he seems really nice, and very professional. i liked the front desk girl as well. once i walked in, they were very warm and welcome. after my adjustment, i felt much better. my neck made so much noise when it got adjusted! i must have really needed it :) i scheduled another appointment with him, so i will see how that goes. i am going to rate him again once i go a few more times. but for now, i thought my experience was pleasant, and my adjustment was good :)

I’ve got to thank Joshua Salina for the amazing job he does. A few years back I had a rib out, which is as miserable as it sounds. They got to the point where I could not breathe without wincing in pain. Josh got my back straightened, my rib back in, and me back to feeling normal. Now I only have to see him when I do something stupid like last Friday. That’s a big guy, it is important I have somebody that can move things around, and Josh is that guy. If you’re looking for a chiropractor don’t look any further. He is accessible from everywhere in Spokane, easy to get into for an appointment, and just a great guy.

When I First came to Dr. Salina I had sharp stabbing pains on the mid-right side of my back. I had thought that my back pain was something I just had to deal with because my doctor didn't offer me any solutions other than taking pain-killers. The pain didn't go away right at first but i stuck to it, and over the course of a couple months, Dr. Salinas' Chiropractic/physical therapy method pretty much wiped out my sharp pains.

I feel a lot more active, I can play with my kids now, and i'm now able to do daily menial tasks without worrying about sharp pains. I highly recommend letting him help you on your "journey to good health.

I have been treated by other Chiropractors in my lifetime. But when going to Dr. Josh I was impressed with his ability to completely inform me of Chiropractic benefits to my total health. I appreciated his gentle approach. He always kept me informed and helped me with at-home therapy to complement in-office treatment. Dr. Joshua Salina is a true professional in every sense of the word.
Jessica
Dr. Josh is a very knowledgeable chiropractor. He goes above and beyond for his clients and coworkers. He is a great healer and promotes natural care from the inside out. His compassion for Chiropractic is amazing and it shows through the health of his clients.

I had neck pain after a car accident and Dr. Josh helped relieve the pain totally. I was very reluctant to try chiropractic for the pain, but also did not want to stay on prescription medications. He not only helped with the physical pain, but shared his knowledge and helped me understand why chiropractic was a great option. I would recommend him to family and friends and was sorry to see him leave the Boise area.
Kelli
Hi, my name is Kelli and I am from Spokane, WA. Before I started going to Dr. Josh I was having terrible headaches and was overall feeling pretty lousy health wise. I had made a couple visits to my primary Doctor and had many tests done to try and figure out what was going on. After much frustration with the lack of information from the Dr. I decided to try a Chiropractor.

At first, I was a little skeptical because I had never been before, but after my first appointment I felt like I was right at home with Salina Family Chiropractic. After 3 visits with Josh my headaches were gone and to this day I have not had one. I have increased energy, my posture and balance have improved and overall, I feel amazing from head to toe!

My skepticism quickly disappeared and I have become an enthusiastic supporter and promoter of Chiropractic care from Dr. Josh. My husband and 2 boys now see Dr. Josh regularly and we are all in great health because of it! From my first visit to the present, Josh is continually educating my family and I about our bodies from the inside out. Thanks Salina Family Chiropractic for making us a part of your family and for taking care of mine!
