Personal Injury/Workers’ Compensation Care in Bend

If you’ve been injured at work or involved in a motor vehicle accident, getting the right care as soon as possible is essential. At Bend Whole Health Chiropractic, we help patients address the pain, inflammation, and dysfunction that often follow traumatic injuries—before they become long-term problems.

Common injuries we see after workplace incidents or car accidents include:

• Low back pain
• Neck and whiplash injuries
• Extremity joint pain
• Recurring headaches
• Nerve-related discomfort

Even if your pain doesn’t show up right away, your spine and nervous system may have been affected. We’ve treated many patients whose pain began months—or even years—after an injury due to undiagnosed or untreated spinal damage.

Why Urgent Care Might Miss the Full Picture

Urgent care centers and emergency rooms are equipped to check for life-threatening conditions and fractures. While they play a vital role in early medical response, they often overlook musculoskeletal and nerve-related issues that develop after impact.

For example, they may diagnose whiplash, but they typically do not have the tools to treat spinal misalignments or soft tissue damage that could lead to long-term degeneration. Scar tissue can begin to form within days after an injury, limiting mobility and increasing pain.

At Bend Whole Health Chiropractic, we look beyond the surface to evaluate how your injury has affected your spine, muscles, and nervous system—so we can provide care that supports long-term healing.

Your Personal Injury Evaluation

When you visit our office, we start with a thorough consultation and exam to understand the full scope of your injury. We may recommend imaging such as X-rays or MRI, and we can coordinate referrals to orthopedists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, or physical therapists if needed.
Think of us as your healthcare quarterback. We’ll guide your case and make sure you get the support you need from start to finish.
Once we’ve gathered all the necessary information, we’ll create a care plan tailored to your condition, injury type, and overall health. From there, you’ll decide how you’d like to proceed.
