No auto accident is insignificant! If you have experienced even a minor fender-bender, it is possible that you have sustained an injury. Dr. Sims often consults with patients whose discomfort and diminished quality of life has gone on for years, stemming from an auto accident for which physical assessment was not received.

We understand that you have a great deal to manage after your auto accident. You may be facing car repairs and insurance claims. Your body is also in need of focused attention at this time. Our method of treating patients who have been in an accident is to walk them through personalized care designed to get them healthy.

With chiropractic assessment and care, it is possible to quickly identify injury and relieve the stress and fatigue felt by the spine and soft tissues. The team at HealthSource Chiropractic & Progressive Rehab in Milwaukie provides gentle, safe treatment for symptoms of injury such as neck and back pain, headaches, muscle fatigue and weakness, whiplash, and more. With compassionate care, we help you regain comfort as quickly as possible.

Due to the long-term effects of an auto accident, vigilance in physical care is important in the days that follow a collision. It is common to experience minor aches, pains, and muscle stiffness after an accident. It is also common to explain these symptoms away as a direct result of physical trauma - one that will pass within days or weeks. Many people treat the symptoms of automobile injury with over-the-counter medications, ice, heat, rest, or possibly with prescription medications. The hidden danger of symptom management is the fact that the underlying injury remains and will eventually make itself known.

To avoid pain years after an automobile accident, a full, careful chiropractic assessment is recommended. We encourage you to contact our office before you close your insurance claim. Taking quick action can allow you to receive the personal attention you need to speed the recovery of your injury. Furthermore, it can relieve you of the financial burden of care needed for an accident that was not your fault.
