auto accidents
Automobile accidents are one of the most common causes of neck and back injury resulting from spinal misalignment. When a car impacts another vehicle, the forward momentum of your body is stopped by a seat belt, airbag, car door, or dashboard, creating enormous force and pressure to the neck and back. Auto injuries to the neck and back can often create serious pain and discomfort, challenging simple movements and enjoyment in life.
The jarring experience of a car accident typically causes strain to the ligaments, muscles, and facet joints, which bear the brunt of impact. Treatment begins with a chiropractic evaluation and recommendations for ongoing therapy based on your diagnosis. There are often multiple neck and back injuries sustained in a car accident, requiring a comprehensive treatment approach including chiropractic, massage, acupuncture and naturopathic supplements.

Understanding Auto Insurance and treatment after an accident:
In Oregon, you are required to have Auto Insurance that includes Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage. Most policies have $15,000 reserved for medical bills related to an auto accident. So you can rest assured that you, and any passengers, are covered for injuries related to an accident, regardless of who is at fault. Having an accident can be scary and disorienting. Often times you are in pain, and dealing with paperwork may feel overwhelming. We are here to reassure you the process is simpler that you think. We are highly experienced in both the treatment and management of personal injury cases. Let us help you get back to feeling like yourself.
