Oregon Auto Insurance Covers Your Chiropractic Care—100%
Here’s something many accident victims don’t realize: Your Oregon auto insurance already includes coverage for chiropractic treatment after a car accident.
Oregon law requires all auto insurance policies to include Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage of at least $15,000. This means:
- No out-of-pocket costs for your chiropractic care
- No referral needed—you can see a chiropractor directly
- Coverage regardless of fault—even if you caused the accident
- Immediate benefits—no waiting periods or pre-authorization
- Covers all vehicle occupants—drivers and passengers alike
At Sisu Coastal Wellness, we can help you with handling the insurance paperwork and setting up your claim for your accident. Our team will verify your coverage and work directly with your auto insurance company so you can focus on what matters most—healing.
Why You Should See a Chiropractor After a Car Accident—Even If You Feel Fine
Many people walk away from a car accident feeling okay, only to develop pain, stiffness, and other symptoms days or even weeks later. This delay happens because:
- Adrenaline masks pain immediately after an accident
- Inflammation builds gradually in injured tissues
- Soft tissue injuries (muscles, ligaments, tendons) may not show up on X-rays
- Spinal misalignments can worsen over time without treatment
Research shows that patients who receive early chiropractic treatment after a car accident have significantly better outcomes than those who wait. Early intervention can prevent acute injuries from becoming chronic conditions.
Don’t wait for the pain to become unbearable. If you’ve been in a car accident in Clatsop County or the surrounding areas, schedule an evaluation today.
Auto Accident Injuries We Treat at Sisu Coastal Wellness
Whiplash
Whiplash is the most common car accident injury, occurring when your head is rapidly thrown forward and backward during a collision. Symptoms include neck pain, stiffness, headaches, dizziness, and difficulty concentrating. Without proper treatment, whiplash can lead to chronic pain and long-term complications.
Neck Pain & Cervical Spine Injuries
The sudden forces in a car accident can damage the delicate structures of your neck, including vertebrae, discs, muscles, and ligaments. We use gentle, precise adjustments and therapeutic techniques to restore proper alignment and function.
Back Pain & Spinal Injuries
Lower back pain is extremely common after auto accidents, often resulting from disc herniations, muscle strains, or spinal misalignments. Our specialized decompression and flexion-distraction tables provide effective relief for disc-related injuries.
Headaches & Migraines
Post-traumatic headaches frequently develop after car accidents, often related to neck injuries, muscle tension, or concussion. Chiropractic care addresses the underlying causes rather than just masking symptoms with medication.
Shoulder, Arm & Extremity Pain
Bracing for impact during a collision can cause injuries throughout your body. We treat referred pain, numbness, tingling, and dysfunction in the shoulders, arms, hands, hips, and legs.
Soft Tissue Injuries
Sprains, strains, and contusions to muscles, tendons, and ligaments require proper care to heal correctly. Our manual therapy techniques help restore flexibility and prevent scar tissue formation.
Our Approach to Auto Accident Injury Care
At Sisu Coastal Wellness, we believe in treating the whole person, not just the injury. Our comprehensive approach includes:
Thorough Evaluation
Your first visit includes a complete history of the accident, physical examination, postural analysis, range of motion testing, and orthopedic/neurological assessments. If needed, we can order X-rays, MRIs, or other diagnostic imaging to fully understand your injuries.
Personalized Treatment Plan
No two accidents—or patients—are alike. We create individualized treatment plans that may include:
- Chiropractic adjustments (diversified, activator, or instrument-assisted)
- Spinal decompression therapy
- Flexion-distraction table techniques
- Manual soft tissue therapy
- Low-level laser (light) therapy
- Therapeutic exercises and stretches
- Posture correction and ergonomic guidance
Collaborative Care
We work closely with other healthcare providers in the Astoria community, including primary care physicians, physical therapists, massage therapists, and specialists. If your injuries require care beyond what we provide, we’ll make appropriate referrals to ensure you get the best possible outcome.
Documentation for Your Claim
Proper documentation is essential for insurance claims and potential legal proceedings. We maintain detailed records of your injuries, treatment, and progress that can support your case if needed.
