Car Accident Chiropractor in Lake Oswego, Oregon
Auto injury care, about 8 to 12 minutes from Lake Oswego. 100% covered by Oregon PIP (up to $15,000). Hablamos español.
If you were in a car accident in Lake Oswego, the first 72 hours matter more than most people realize. Adrenaline masks pain, and injuries like whiplash, disc irritation and soft-tissue damage often don't show up until the next day. Most of the Lake Oswego crash injuries we see come from OR-43 through downtown, Boones Ferry Road, Kruse Way, and the Jean Road and Pilkington Road intersection. An exam at our West Linn clinic, about 10 to 15 minutes from most of Lake Oswego, documents your injuries and starts treatment before inflammation has a chance to set in.
We see the same pattern in almost every Lake Oswego case: a driver feels fine at the scene, exchanges information, and calls us three or four days later once the stiffness and headaches show up. That delay is normal, and it doesn't cost you anything to close it quickly. Oregon PIP covers your visit either way, and getting seen early gives your case, and your recovery, a stronger foundation.

Lake Oswego Car Accident FAQ
How soon should I see a chiropractor after a car accident in Lake Oswego?
Within 72 hours if possible. Most of the Lake Oswego crashes we treat happen on OR-43, Boones Ferry Road or Kruse Way, and injuries from those crashes often don't announce themselves for a day or two. An early exam documents what's actually hurt before it becomes a bigger problem.
Do I need a referral or an attorney to start treatment?
No. You can schedule directly with us, no referral required. If you do have an attorney, we coordinate documentation and records with them throughout your case.
What if my crash happened outside Lake Oswego but I live there?
That's fine. Oregon PIP coverage follows your auto policy, not the location of the crash. We treat Lake Oswego patients regardless of where the accident happened.
Does PIP cover more than just chiropractic adjustments?
Yes. Oregon PIP covers up to $15,000 in care, which can include chiropractic adjustments, massage therapy and SoftWave shockwave therapy when appropriate for your injuries, all with no out-of-pocket cost for most patients.
Do you work with personal injury attorneys near Lake Oswego?
Yes — see the attorneys we coordinate with below. You don't need one to be treated, but if you have a case, we handle documentation the way your attorney needs it.
