I have been seeing Dr. Salminen on a regular basis for several years. He has made it possible for me to get in and out of my car, walk and continue life without pain. Most recently I had a severe problem with my jaw which seemed to feel “out” and very painful. After I was adjusted for my back, I noticed my jaw was no longer painful—completely normal. I have my life back. Daily chores like vacuuming and scouring the bathroom are no longer chores. Some other benefits include the ability to carry fairly heavy items, sleep better and most recently, chew again.
I can say that no other chiropractor has ever helped my back. I can now resume life in a positive, no pain way. At 73, I cannot add up in a monetary figure the years of disappointment, pain and cost.
I absolutely love the staff! And as far as the care, it works! It is gentle and painless and the doctor actually LISTENS to you. There’s not a negative thing to say about Alpha Spine Center. The best part is I have a great peace knowing that this is a caring place where kind and sensitive people minister to you and the procedure works. Please try this procedure as it is so gentle and painless you can’t believe it really is adjusting you. A miracle!
RESEARCH
Chiropractic Care of a Patient with Temporomandibular Disorder and Atlas Subluxation?J Manipulative Physiol Ther 2002 (Jan); 25 (1): 63–70?High-velocity, low-amplitude adjustments (ie, Gonstead technique) were applied to findings of atlas subluxation. The patient’s symptoms improved and eventually resolved after 9 visits.
The Dental-chiropractic Cotreatment of Structural Disorders of the Jaw and Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction?J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1995 (Sep); 18 (7): 476–481 The position of the jaw and head and neck are intricately linked. The acute symptoms experienced during the initial dental treatment phase were caused by the inability of the head and neck to adapt to maxillary and mandibular changes. Chiropractic treatments enabled the body to respond positively to the dental changes. As the mandibular position improved, further improvements were indicated by physical testing and X-rays.
Chiropractic Manipulation of Anteriorly Displaced Temporomandibular Disc With Adhesion J Manipulative Physiol Ther 1995 (Feb); 18 (2): 98–104?The patient was treated twice a week for a total of 19 visits. During the baseline period no treatment was given to the TMJ (3 visits) where the patient received cervical manipulation alone. During the experimental period the patient received both cervical spine manipulation and a specific manipulation to the left mandible. There were no physical therapeutic modalities applied to the jaw. The specific TMJ manipulation used requires a very low-amplitude high velocity thrust parallel to the slope of the articular eminence. The results of this study show mandibular opening distance was returned to normal in addition to the abolition of the patient’s TMJ pain and clicking.

I have suffered from chronic sinusitis, TMJ symptoms, upper shoulder and low back pain, irritable nature (moody), anxiety, stress, and digestion problems for 5 years. I’ve been to other chiropractors, an oral surgeon, and taken lots of pain medication (over-the-counter). I drove to and from Athens 2 times per month for previous, traditional chiropractic care for 2 years, which cost approximately $1500.
At the Alpha Spine Center, Dr. Salminen was honest about my condition from the very beginning of my care. He was concerned that I understood what was going on with my health.
I have not been sick since my first adjustment—my positive attitude has returned, no jaw problems, and my anxiety and stress has reduced significantly. I sometimes work for 12 hours straight on my feet and now I can do this without extreme discomfort. And, I sleep like a kid again! All of the changes were unexpected—I did not think that so many things could be related to my neck!!
I feel fabulous!! Like a 22 year old should!
