Dr. Michael Cardinal practices what he preaches and is happy to get hands on with his clients to help them reach their goals. As an athlete, strength coach, clinician, and lover of strength sports, Dr. Cardinal strongly believes that every patient should be able to utilize their body at the highest level possible.
Strong Life Chiropractic focuses on the relationship between joint fixations, the resulting effects on neuromuscular function, and improving biomechanics throughout the rest of the body. Sports chiropractic expands its focus beyond the spine. We believe in addressing extremity issues and neuromuscular treatment modalities to optimize the function of the entire body.
IASTM is a modern evolution of Gua Sha, an ancient Chinese technique, and uses specifically designed tools to address scar tissue and fascia restrictions. It promotes increased blood flow to the muscles, resulting in improved recovery. IASTM is a perfect complement to chiropractic adjustments for treatment of musculoskeletal issues commonly caused by training, injuries, or repetitive motions.
Here at Strong Life Chiropractic, we use them to strengthen muscle groups, rehabilitate injury, prevent injury, and to alter improper patterns that have led to functional breakdown in the body. Our doctor draws on 22 years of competitive weightlifting experience to understand the progression and regression of exercises and to make the proper adjustments needed to keep you strong and fit.
Cupping is a form of soft tissue treatment focusing on increasing blood flow, lymphatic drainage, pain relief, and fascia mobility. At Strong Life Chiropractic, cupping may be stationary, mobile through a problem area, or it may be paired with recommended movement patterns to help you achieve a better range of motion.

The Strong Life Wellness program developed by Michael Cardinal provides me with the tools to combat the problems facing an aging body that has seen its share of damages in 67 active years. Beyond the immediate relief of pain in his treatment facility, he has educated me in root causes and has trained me in home solutions geared to my specific problems. Michael has also worked with my husband on back issues with great success. We highly recommend his services.

Dr. Cardinal is by far the best out there! He is eager to learn and is always learning new techniques and ways to practice! He gets to know his patients and what’s bothering them. I had visited a chiropractor in Salem once before I met Dr. Cardinal and didn’t have a great experience. But Dr. Cardinal was very professional with me at my first visit and got to know what was bothering me, what he was going to do, and what I should do to help my pains I was having. It was by far the best visit and completely changed my mind about chiropractic!

I let Michael check out the bursitis in my right shoulder. He was able to relieve much of the pressure and significantly increase my mobility in 1 session!!! He also gave me several exercises to do at home and tactics I can use to minimize the inflammation caused during tough workouts! Hopeful on possibility of a healthy shoulder in my near future!!!

Michael was cautious enough to not touch my back until imaging had determined what my injuries were, but took a great deal of time to show me some passive exercises that I could do to work against numbness, spasms etc. Like all things, if you listen to the Dr. it makes all the difference. While I can’t say I’ve been consistent for months and… months. I did implement his suggestions and found greater and greater relief until imaging was obtained and other methods explored. Michael is attentive, thorough, highly skilled, and a wealth of information. Highly recommended ⭐

When I first came and seen Michael, I was in so much pain. Sitting, standing, walking and just being at school was very painful. My neck and lumbar was pretty bad. I've only seen Michael 5 times and I'm already back to my almost normal self. I am able to exercise again amd sit in class without suffering. My neck still has some work til it gets better. I give this place 5 stars and I highly recommend. Michael is very personal and makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Also, massage therapist same building!!!. Awesome!
