Car Accident Chiropractor in Milwaukie, Oregon
Auto injury care, about 12 to 15 minutes from Milwaukie. 100% covered by Oregon PIP (up to $15,000). Hablamos español.
OR-99E (McLoughlin Boulevard) is the dominant corridor for Milwaukie crash injuries, followed by Highway 224, King Road and Monroe Street. McLoughlin's stop-and-go traffic pattern produces a steady stream of rear-end collisions, which are the single most common cause of whiplash we treat from Milwaukie.
The tricky part about whiplash from a rear-end crash is that it often feels like a minor annoyance at first: some neck stiffness, maybe a headache. Left alone, that stiffness can settle into chronic pain that's much harder to resolve months later. An exam within the first few days catches the injury while it's still straightforward to treat, and Oregon PIP covers that visit at no cost to you.

Milwaukie Car Accident FAQ
How soon should I see a chiropractor after a car accident in Milwaukie?
Within a few days if at all possible. McLoughlin Boulevard's stop-and-go traffic produces a lot of rear-end collisions, and the whiplash from those crashes is much easier to treat early than after it becomes chronic.
Do I need a referral or an attorney to start treatment?
No. You can schedule directly with our office. If you have an attorney, we coordinate documentation and records with them throughout your case.
What if my crash happened outside Milwaukie but I live there?
That's fine. Oregon PIP coverage follows your auto policy, not the location of the crash, so we treat Milwaukie 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, with no out-of-pocket cost for most patients.
Do you work with personal injury attorneys near Milwaukie?
