Car accidents can cause serious injuries that aren’t always immediately apparent. Even low, speed collisions can result in whiplash, soft tissue injuries, spinal misalignment, and other conditions that develop over days or weeks. At Form & Function Chiropractic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating car accident injuries, helping Lake Oswego residents recover fully and regain their quality of life.
Injuries from Car Accidents
Car accidents create sudden, forceful movement that can injure muscles, ligaments, discs, and joints throughout your body. Whiplash is the most common injury, involving strain to the neck and upper back. However, car accidents can also cause back injuries, rib injuries, shoulder injuries, and headaches. Some injuries are immediately obvious, while others develop gradually as inflammation builds and scar tissue forms.
Why Seek Care After an Accident?
Prompt evaluation and treatment are critical after a car accident. Even if you feel “okay” initially, underlying injuries can cause long, term problems if left untreated. Early intervention prevents chronic pain, reduces inflammation, speeds healing, and helps prevent post, accident complications. Additionally, if you plan to file an insurance claim, having documented medical evaluations and treatment is essential.
Our Car Accident Injury Treatment
Dr. Jeff Devine has extensive experience treating car accident injuries. We begin with comprehensive evaluations to identify all injuries, many of which patients don’t initially realize they have. Treatment may include spinal adjustments to correct misalignments caused by impact forces, soft tissue therapy to address muscle and ligament injuries, therapeutic exercises to restore strength and mobility, and ergonomic advice to support healing.
Insurance and Auto Accident Claims
If your car accident was caused by another driver, their auto insurance should cover your medical treatment. We work directly with auto insurance companies and understand the claims process. Our office handles much of the paperwork, allowing you to focus on healing rather than navigating insurance complications. Whether you have PIP (Personal Injury Protection) coverage or are pursuing a liability claim, we’ll work with your insurance company to ensure you receive the coverage you’re entitled to.
Preventing Long, Term Complications
Without proper treatment, car accident injuries can lead to chronic pain, reduced mobility, sleep disruption, and decreased quality of life. Post, traumatic headaches and neck pain can persist for months or years. Through comprehensive chiropractic care, we address injuries at their source, prevent chronic complications, and help you fully recover your pre, accident health.
Your Car Accident Recovery Plan
Your treatment plan is customized based on your specific injuries and recovery goals. Most car accident patients benefit from consistent care over several weeks, with gradual improvement and return to normal activities. We monitor your progress closely, adjust treatment as needed, and provide discharge care instructions to maintain your gains and prevent future problems.
