Auto Accident & Whiplash Treatment
After a collision, whiplash and related soft tissue injuries often appear hours or days later, once the initial adrenaline fades. Point Chiropractic evaluates neck and spine injuries after auto accidents in Bend, treats conservatively, documents findings for your claim, and refers for imaging or medical evaluation when indicated. We work with all auto insurance policies and work comp.
Low-speed crashes still transmit significant force to the neck and mid back. Many patients leave the scene feeling fine and wake up two days later unable to turn their head.
Getting evaluated early matters for two reasons: it clarifies what was actually injured, and it creates documentation while the timeline is still clean — which matters if an insurer is involved.

Know What To Expect
What your care may involve
Prompt evaluation
We take a detailed crash history — direction of impact, head position, seat belt, airbag — and perform an orthopedic and neurological exam.
Imaging and referral decisions
If findings suggest fracture, significant disc injury, or concussion, we refer for imaging or medical evaluation before treating.
Conservative care
Treatment usually combines gentle adjustments, soft tissue work, and graded movement as tolerance improves.
Documentation
Findings, progress, and functional limits are documented for your auto insurance, work comp, or attorney.
Return to activity
Rehabilitation builds tolerance back toward driving, work, training, and sleep.
Our Approach To Healing
The Point Chiropractic approach
We focus on gentle, effective care to relieve symptoms and support recovery, starting with whatever level of force your injured tissue can currently tolerate.
Our billing specialist handles auto insurance and work comp regularly, so you can focus on recovery rather than paperwork.

FAQ’s
Have A Question?
How soon after an accident should I be seen?
As soon as you are able. Early evaluation clarifies what was injured and documents your condition while the timeline is clear.
I felt fine at the scene. Should I still come in?
Whiplash symptoms commonly appear hours to days later. An exam can identify irritated tissue before it becomes a longer problem.
Will auto insurance cover my care?
We work with all auto insurance policies and work comp. Bring your claim number and adjuster details and we will help you sort out coverage.
What if I need imaging or a specialist?
If the exam suggests a need, we refer for imaging or medical evaluation rather than proceeding with treatment.
