Frequently Asked Personal Injury Chiropractic Questions

Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident, even if I feel normal?

Yes, especially if you're experiencing symptoms like neck pain, headaches, back pain, or muscle stiffness. Even low-speed collisions can cause soft tissue injuries or misalignments in the spine. Chiropractic care is a non-invasive, drug-free way to address these issues at the source and prevent them from getting worse over time. If you're searching for a car accident chiropractor near Salem, we’re here to help.

What if the accident was my fault? Can I still receive therapy after a car accident?

Yes, you can and should! In Oregon, car insurance policies include Personal Injury Protection (PIP), which covers medical care, including chiropractic therapy, regardless of who caused the accident. That means you can begin treatment even if you are at fault, and your care will likely be covered by your insurance.

Is chiropractic care covered by car insurance or personal injury claims?

In many cases, yes. Oregon is a no-fault state, which means your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage often includes chiropractic care. We can help you navigate both your insurance billing and claims documentation.

Should I call a lawyer first?

Not necessarily. If you're injured, your health should be your number one priority. Seeing a chiropractor promptly not only supports your recovery but also provides documentation of your injuries, which can be helpful if you choose to hire a lawyer later. You do not need legal representation to begin care.

What car accident injuries can a chiropractor treat?

We commonly treat whiplash, neck and back pain, headaches, muscle stiffness, and soft tissue injuries. Chiropractic adjustments, stretching, and other therapies are used to restore alignment, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.

How long does it take to see results from therapy after a car accident?

Recovery time varies by injury severity and how quickly you begin treatment. Some patients feel better after a few visits, while others may need ongoing therapy. We tailor each treatment plan to your needs and progress.
