Treating Soft-Tissue Injuries After an Accident

After a car crash, you might be relieved to find you have no broken bones. However, the most common injuries from a collision are often invisible: damage to your soft tissues, which include muscles, ligaments, and tendons. These injuries, like whiplash, can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and restricted movement if not treated properly.

The impact from an accident can stretch or tear these tissues. While rest and ice are important initially, prolonged immobilization can lead to scar tissue buildup, which causes long-term pain and stiffness. The key to a full recovery is promoting proper healing and restoring healthy function.

Our Approach to Healing Soft-Tissue Injuries

At Accident & Wellness Chiropractic, we specialize in treating the complex soft-tissue injuries that result from auto accidents. We offer same-day appointments to begin your recovery immediately.

Our comprehensive treatment plan is designed to:

  • Reduce Inflammation: We start with a thorough exam to identify the specific tissues that were injured. Your first visit includes your first treatment, which may involve modalities and gentle chiropractic care to decrease initial pain and swelling.
  • Break Down Scar Tissue: Therapeutic massage and other hands-on techniques are crucial for preventing restrictive scar tissue from forming, ensuring your muscles and ligaments heal with flexibility.
  • Restore Motion and Strength: Once the initial inflammation is controlled, our care focuses on restoring your normal range of motion and strengthening the injured tissues to prevent future problems.
  • Handle the Insurance Stress: Our staff will assist you with all the necessary auto insurance (PIP) paperwork so you can focus on what matters most—your recovery.

“Highly Recommend! After a bad car accident, I was in constant pain and getting nowhere with other providers. From the very first call, the receptionist at Accident & Wellness made all the difference — kind, understanding, and immediately got things in motion for me. The chiropractor was thorough and effective, and the massage therapist was incredible. I finally got real relief. This team genuinely cares — I can’t recommend them enough!”

“I came here on a coworker’s recommendation after he had great results with his treatments. I’ll admit I was a little hesitant at first since my past chiropractic experiences hadn’t been very helpful. From the moment I walked in, though, Kelly and Kristine at the front desk made me feel so welcome. They’re truly the sweetest! Dr. Stumpf takes the time to clearly explain the anatomy, the purpose of each treatment, and stretches I can do at home. He’s helped me through acute pain and also given me the knowledge and tools to better manage my chronic pain. For the first time, I feel hopeful that I can reduce my stress around living with chronic pain long term.”

“I got in a bad car accident with my sister and we have been visiting this chiropractor for a handful of months and we were well taken care of by the most friendly, kind and caring staff. They took really good care of us and always provided us with the best service. Every check ups with Dr. Lina and Dr. Stump and every welcome from Miss Kelly and the other staffs will always be remembered as they treated us like family and gave us the best experience out of a bad outcome! I definitely recommend! 10/10”

“Thanks for your wonderful services, your cares for the wellness of community and the happy living style even after treatments are done! I had many wonderful experiences here at Accident & Wellness Chiropractic office in years, whenever I had back, neck or joints troubles. From the professional front desk workers, to medical treatment rooms those full equipped w/medical devices specialized in chiropractics. My recent treatment here was back to 10/2019 when I had this car accident caused by someone rear ended me at the stop light. After serials terrible pain in the neck, lower part of my back and one terrible night I couldn’t sleep, I went in the next morning to see the doctor here, Dr. Stump DC. Again, the process of registration, intake was fast and easy, accurately done. This is one excellent doctor people can not find anywhere else! Dr. Stump spent his time listened throughly to the symptoms, carefully diagnosed, throughout exams, and adjustments. Next, I found myself comfortably in the chair w/heated pads while I waited for the last but not least, massages by a certified and professional therapist! I’m now fully functioning and living my life once again, despite the fact that I had an accident injured my neck, lower back and joints:) Thanks a lot Accident & Wellness! HIEU Nguyen,”

“I've been going to their location on 82nd in Portland for a while after i got into an accident. A rear-ended accident left me with a lot of pain and discomfort in my lower and upper backs and my neck, but after my treatment it all went away! The doctors and the staffs are always welcoming, helpful, and professional. I've referred many friends and family to Dr. Lena's clinic and have heard all good things about their experience.”
