About Capitol Chiropractic in Salem, OR
Salem, OR, offers a lifestyle that naturally encourages movement and connection to the outdoors. Whether you are walking through Bush’s Pasture Park, working in your garden during the spring, or spending time along the Willamette River, your body is constantly engaged.

Our focus is on helping Salem residents achieve natural pain relief, improved mobility, and long-term wellness through personalized chiropractic care that is built around you.
A Local Practice Rooted in Personalized Care

From your first visit, we take the time to understand what you are experiencing and what you want to achieve. Whether you are dealing with ongoing discomfort, recovering from an injury, or simply looking to improve how your body functions, we tailor your care to match your needs. Our goal is simple. We want you to live pain-free, move with ease, and feel your best every day.
Meet Dr. James Wallace
Dr. James Wallace has been serving the Salem community since 1997, bringing decades of experience and a deep commitment to patient care. A graduate of Palmer West Chiropractic College, Dr. Wallace has dedicated his professional life to helping patients restore balance and improve their overall health.
His approach focuses on gentle, effective techniques that support the body’s natural ability to heal. Using tools like the Thompson Drop Table and an electrical adjustor, he is able to provide precise adjustments with light force. This allows for comfortable treatments that are suitable for a wide range of patients.
Dr. Wallace understands that each individual is unique. That is why he uses a blend of techniques tailored to each person’s specific condition and goals, ensuring that every treatment plan is both effective and appropriate.
A Connection to the Salem Community
Our connection to Salem goes beyond the clinic. Dr. Wallace enjoys gardening, fishing, hiking, and spending time outdoors, which reflects the same lifestyle many of our patients value. Living on a small farm just south of Salem, he brings that sense of community and connection into the practice.
At times, you may even find fresh produce or extra vegetable plants from his greenhouse available to share in the office. It is a small but meaningful way we stay connected to the people we serve.
We believe that being part of the community means more than just providing care. It means building relationships and creating a welcoming environment where you feel comfortable and supported.
Gentle Techniques with Effective Results
Not everyone is comfortable with forceful adjustments, and we understand that. That is why we focus on gentle chiropractic techniques that still deliver meaningful results.
Our approach includes:
- Light-force adjustments using specialized tools
- Techniques designed to reduce discomfort during treatment
- Methods that encourage natural alignment and healing
These techniques allow us to treat a wide range of conditions while keeping your experience as comfortable as possible. Whether you are new to chiropractic care or have been receiving treatment for years, we make sure your care feels approachable and effective.
Supporting Health in Every Season
Salem’s changing seasons can impact how your body feels. Cooler, damp winters can lead to stiffness, while spring and summer activity can bring new strains or injuries. Even daily routines like sitting at a desk or lifting at work can contribute to ongoing discomfort.
We take all of these factors into account when developing your care plan. Our goal is to help you stay active and comfortable year-round, no matter what your routine looks like. By focusing on alignment, mobility, and overall wellness, we help your body handle the demands of daily life more effectively.
