Auto Accident Care

Auto Accident Injury Treatment in Orem, Utah | Crest Chiropractic

If you've been in a car accident, getting the right care early can make all the difference. At Crest Chiropractic in Orem, Utah, we specialize in diagnosing and treating auto accident injuries — helping patients reduce pain, restore function, and get their quality of life back.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Recovering from an auto accident starts with a single step — scheduling an appointment. Here's what to expect:

• Electronic Intake Forms – We send your auto accident intake forms digitally so you can complete them at home or in the office.
• Comprehensive First Appointment – Your first visit with Dr. Mattila includes a consultation, physical examination, X-rays if needed, and typically your first treatment.
• Personalized Care Plan – We thoroughly evaluate your injuries and build a treatment plan designed around your specific needs and recovery goals.
• Coordinated Care – We work closely with physical therapists, pain management specialists, advanced imaging centers, and personal injury attorneys to make sure every aspect of your recovery is covered.

Common Auto Accident Injuries We Treat

Auto accidents can cause a wide range of injuries, including:

• Whiplash and neck pain
• Headaches and migraines
• Back and spine injuries
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Arm and shoulder pain
• Joint damage and musculoskeletal trauma

Even if you feel fine after an accident, we still recommend an evaluation. Many symptoms take time to appear, and early detection leads to faster, better outcomes.

Our Auto Accident Treatment Approach

No two injuries are alike. That's why we combine multiple proven therapies to give your body every advantage it needs to heal fully and efficiently.

• Chiropractic Adjustments – Gentle spinal adjustments correct misalignments, relieve nerve compression, reduce inflammation, and restore range of motion.
• Manual Therapy – Deep tissue massage and myofascial release target muscle tension, soft tissue damage, and poor circulation to promote faster healing.
• Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression – A specialized therapy table gently stretches the spine, creating negative pressure that allows herniated or bulging discs to retract and rehydrate — relieving nerve compression and improving mobility.
• Shockwave Therapy – A powerful, non-invasive treatment that delivers radial shock waves into injured tissue to break up scar tissue, stimulate collagen production, improve blood flow, and accelerate healing.

Understanding Your Auto Accident Insurance Benefits in Utah

Utah law requires a minimum of $3,000 in Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage on every auto insurance policy. This means your chiropractic care and medical treatment after a car accident is typically covered by insurance — with no out-of-pocket deductible.

Crest Chiropractic offers dedicated insurance claims assistance, guiding you through every step of the process so you can focus on healing — not paperwork.
