Have you been in a car accident? Auto collisions happen every day. Not only are they scary, but they can cause severe injuries. If you’re in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re injured, it’s best to get checked out right away.
Not all injuries result in pain right away. Sometimes it’s obvious that you are hurt, while other times, pain can manifest over time and come out several weeks later. Our chiropractic team is here to evaluate you after your accident and make sure we stay on top of any developing issues. It’s important to get ahead of your injuries rather you realize they are there, or not. Waiting can cause long-term issues for your body.
Injury Treatment
If you’re feeling the impacts of a car accident, you’ll want to seek professional attention soon to get to the root cause of the problem.
Whiplash
Whiplash is the primary injury people deal with from accidents. Chiropractic care can help you heal faster and feel great again.
Long Term Prevention
Even without obvious pain or discomfort, chiropractic care will ensure no problems arise later down the road from your accident.
During a crash, the car doesn’t absorb the full shock of the crash, the occupants do. When your body is jerked around in response, it’s very likely to experience trauma and injury internally.
Chiropractic Care After an Auto Accident
The funny thing about pain is the way it can show up when you least expect it. Even if you feel fine immediately after a car accident, it’s always a good idea to get checked out by a medical practitioner. If you’ve been in an accident, it’s recommended to see a Chiropractor to evaluate any potential underlying injuries.
Top Chiropractic Care for Auto Injuries in Beaverton
If you do have injuries, chiropractic care can help. Chiropractors are experts in treating auto accident injuries. They can help you regain your mobility and get back to your everyday life. In many cases, chiropractic care can even help reduce the amount of time you need to recover.
Car crashes rattle your body, and your spine, which can cause immediate pain or discomfort that arises weeks later. It’s important to not go unchecked. The longer you let your injuries go, the more problematic it will become later. It’s recommended to see a Chiropractor as soon as possible after a car accident.
Common Injuries from a Car Accident
Auto accidents are extremely dangerous and even fatal. But even small fender benders can cause a significant impact on your body without you knowing.
Here are common injuries that result from car crashes:
Whiplash
This is the most common injury from car accidents. Whiplash is caused when your head snaps forward and then back again, oftentimes faster than your neck can move. This can cause damage to the tendons, muscles, and ligaments in your neck. Symptoms of whiplash include pain in the neck, headaches, dizziness, and blurred vision.
Back injuries
Car accidents can cause back injuries such as a herniated disk or spinal cord compression. These injuries can be extremely painful and may require surgery.
Brain injuries
Brain injuries are another serious injury that can occur from a car accident. They can range from minor concussions to more serious Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). Symptoms of a brain injury include confusion, headaches, blurred vision, and dizziness.
Fractures & Broken Bones
Broken bones are another common injury from car accidents. A broken bone can take a long time to heal, and in some cases, may never fully heal.
If you’ve been in a car accident, it’s important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if you don’t think you’re injured, it’s best to get checked out right away.
How do Chiropractors Treat Auto Injuries?
Our chiropractic team in Beaverton evaluates you for possible injuries that you may not even feel yet. We’ll do a full review of your spinal column, vertebrae, neck, and extremities to ensure that nothing is misaligned. It’s very common to find misalignments after auto accidents.
Based on your exam, we’ll perform adjustments to get you back into alignment so your body can heal properly. We also may provide you with some at-home exercises or stretches to help improve mobility and reduce pain.
In many cases, chiropractic care can help reduce the amount of time you need to recover from your car accident. It’s important to get ahead of your injuries, rather than waiting until they become a problem.

Dr. Kris personalizes my adjustments to relieve my neck pain and headaches. He realizes that adjustments are not a "one size fits all" situation and continually assesses to ensure my needs are met. He takes the time necessary to relieve my pain!
I have been going to see Dr. Pollack for the lossy 11 years! I can’t think about any other DR. Better than him. He is knowledgable super competente and helps my life to be free of pain and much happier. I have referred him for many of my friends and they all are happy as well.

I always feel confident that I will get the best possible care from Beaverton Family Clinic! The staff is caring and tries hard to accommodate the needs of the patient.<br>I have experienced an improvement in at least 7 areas of my physical body, and have received support in emotional and spiritual issues as well! I am healthier and able to function better because of the care I receive at this clinic!<br>I have and will continue to recommend this clinic to friends and family whom I believe would benefit from their care.
I've been going to the chiropractor since I was a kid in the mid-1970's and Dr. Kris is the BEST chiropractor who's ever treated me. He's knowledgeable and skilled. He spends time with his patients and explains things; he's not a "snap & go" chiropractor. I highly recommend Dr. Kris to anyone who is experiencing back or neck pain, headaches, and joint stiffness and pain.
I have been going to Beaverton Family Chiropractic since the end of January,2018 to present time. And each time I have come in it feels so great. And now I am learning a lot more than before.
Dr. Kris is very caring, knowledgeable and skillful. I am very blessed to have his chiropractic treatment with de-compression and roller table treatments to help my severe lower back scoliosis. His assistant, Melissa, knows very well about the treatments and is very thoughtful. The office staff, Kaylan and Julian are very friendly and helpful. I greatly recommend the Beaverton Family Chiropratic, Dr Kris and his staff.
Dr. Kris Pollack at Beaverton Family Chiropractic is excellent. He listens, explains clearly, and provides effective care that has made a real difference for me. The office is welcoming, efficient, and always professional. Highly recommend
My back and neck were so out of whack. I felt like I was 90 years old!<br><br>My back feels so much better now and we’re working on my neck.<br><br>The staff is really nice, I like that. I’ve got another appointment on Friday, I’ll let you know how it goes.
Very knowledgeable and confident but not pushy. This is a very wholistic approach to wellness, not just "popping you back into place." It is a commitment like any other wellness plan so expect to have to invest time and money, but also expect good results. I also took my 2 year old in today for the first time and they are so welcoming of kids.
I have been seeing Dr. Pollack for several year and have found him very concerned and knows a lot about the human body. I highly recommend him and his staff.
This is a wonderful office. Dr Kris is amazing and spends so much time working on you. They’re always kind, incredibly helpful, and my family and I have all received so much help with our bodily pain. This isn’t like some offices where the chiropractor’s aren’t even doctors and they just crack your back without doing any testing or asking any questions. They use much wisdom and are very careful and cautious to do multiple tests and lots of questions before they do any work on you. I would highly recommend their office to anyone.
Clean. I always have a laugh with his staff while waiting. Many years with Kris. He has alleviated many days/times of crying. He gives great (and free) advice for preventative exercises.
Dr Kris is fantastic. I've been to more than a few DC's over the years, and he's definitely in my top 3! If you're having any problems, please, go see him!
The stabilization care was super, and I very much appreciated the options of the roller and decompression machines. They also took additional time to assist me with my questions regarding Medicare reimbursement. Great facility and staff!
I’ve seen Dr. Kris Pollack for years, typically for acute, excruciating back pain. Having had major surgery 35+ years ago, I typically know what’s going on. And I always feel I’m in very good, capable hands with Dr. Kris. He has proven countless times to be the solution for me and I highly recommend him.
I am a fairly new patient at this facility, but I have been a patient of Dr. Kris Pollack's for nearly 18 years. Dr. Kris is absolutely amazing!! When I started seeing him, I was living on over-the-counter medications just to be able to get through the day. He immediately got to the root of my problem and started getting my spine back in alignment after a lifetime of my neglecting my scoliosis. I tell people that Dr. Kris gave me back my life!!! My posture isn't the best, so I continue to see him for routine maintenance, as I never want to go back to that dark place again, where I was when I met him. He has helped fix any problems that I've encountered over the years, from my normal alignment problems to weird injuries. I highly recommend Dr. Kris to anyone!!!<br>I was not very excited when I heard that Dr. Kris was moving from Lake Oswego to this facility in Beaverton; but I would follow him anywhere! He is that good!!
I’m grateful to Dr. Dan and his team. Dr. Dan is a very kind and knowledgeable person with many years of experience. My wife and I are feeling better every day after treatment.
The care I receive at Beaverton Family Chiropractic goes way beyond the best chiropractic care I’ve ever received. Dr. Dan and his staff are totally vested in education for optimal health. There are frequent seminars open to all on topics such as nutrition, exercise and other health topics. The warmth and caring I have received makes me feel as though I am among family. If you have any spinal health concerns, I strongly encourage you to make an appointment.
Dr. Dan has helped me with back issues that were interfering with my daily life and continues to help me optimize my health. The staff is all friendly and quickly gets to know who you are.
