Chiropractic Care after a Car Accident

OVER 50,000 MOTOR VEHICLE ACCIDENTS ARE REPORTED IN OREGON ANNUALLY.
NEARLY 74% OF ACCIDENTS RESULT IN INJURY.
WE ARE HERE TO HELP SUPPORT YOU THROUGH YOUR RECOVERY.

The body is not designed to handle the impact of a car accident. Which means, no matter the severity of impact, your body is susceptible to aches, pains, and serious injury. Because bodies are adaptable and can cope with stress, it is common to not feel pain immediately following an auto accident. It is important to have your body assessed following a car accident, whether or not you feel pain.  

Minor accidents and “fender benders” can result in neck and back injuries. The force of the accident doesn’t always equate to injury severity. Even low impact accidents can cause lingering injury.

Our relationships with massage therapists, physical therapists, acupuncturists, orthopedists, imaging centers and attorneys allow us to provide you with optimal care in a collaborative setting throughout your healing process. Seeking chiropractic care promptly following an accident can help to speed up recovery from accident-related injuries.
Your after-accident care is 100%

Common Car Accident Related Injuries 

One of the most common injuries after an auto accident is whiplash. Whiplash is a type of neck injury caused by a sudden backward or forward motion of the head, making it common after the impact of a car accident. Our goal is to restore range of motion, reduce inflammation and improve mind | body connection. We assess the direction and severity of the whiplash through a thorough assessment and work to reduce pain using an activator or chiropractic adjustment if warranted, and further modalities to ease muscular tension. 

We also support patients with exercises designed to help decrease muscular imbalance, spasm and pain, where appropriate and as determined by injury severity.

In a vehicle collision, your body absorbs an excessive amount of pressure. This can cause anything from strains and strains to herniated discs or even disabling injury. 

Chiropractic care helps support the body through a natural healing process working to decompress stressed tissue and down-regulate the heightened response of the nervous system following a car accident.

At our clinic, we use a variety of modalities to improve the range of motion you have in your back and reduce pain and discomfort caused by your accident. We work with you to get you to pre-accident status efficiently and effectively. 

An increase in the intensity and frequency of headaches can be an after-effect of a car accident. Without addressing the root issue, these headaches may become a persistent problem. 

Headaches have many causes and may be connected to the bones in the neck, an increase in muscular tension, eye strain or increased stress; all common issues following a motor vehicle accident. 

We use several techniques to manage headache. Treatment may include a combination of McKenzie® (MDT®) assessment CranioSacral Therapy (CST), chiropractic manipulation, or the use of tools such as the RockBlades® Mohawk, cups, or Activator. Treatment is guided by patient symptoms and how those symptoms respond to care. This means treatment evolves as healing occurs. 

Patient Experiences

"I had my first official visit with Dr. Jess Budjac and I am overly impressed. Her office space is great, her staff is warm and welcoming. Dr. Jess has a way of making you feel like you've been friends for years. Her bed side manner is second to none. I had been suffering with neck pain and headaches, sometimes debilitating. Working with Jess has made such a difference. She thoroughly explained what was going on and what I could do to prevent this in the future. Her adjustments are specific, effective, and comfortable. Thank you for your knowledge, kindness, and exceptional care! I would highly recommend you give Dr. Jess Budjac a call. Suffering is one, optional, and two, overrated!"

"I finally made it in to see Jessica and I’m kicking myself I didn’t do it sooner. Before seeing Jessica I could only move my left arm up about 15% before feeling discomfort and pain. After working with Jessica for about an hour my arm feels perfect! Seriously perfect! The office is professional and kind and was able to work with my busy schedule as well. Thank you!"
