Auto Injury

Treating Injuries in Oregon City.

Our Oregon City chiropractors work with several patients who have been involved in a vehicle collision, so we understand the various tolls these accidents take. Not only are our patients injured, some need surgeries, and often there’s a loss of expensive property. However, we also witness the mental, emotional, and financial effects caused by an auto accident.

We are determined to help you get your life back in order, your pain under control, and your body supporting you in its proper, intended form. Our natural techniques provide safe, non-invasive, painless solutions that are evidence-based and contribute to overall well-being.

The team at Function Performance accepts most insurance, and our patients are usually covered 100% with no out-of-pocket expenses. We work directly with the insurance agencies so you can stay focused on your health and recovery. No referral is needed to see us, all we need is your claim number, and we’ll take it from there.

If you’ve been involved in a collision, we recommend coming to our clinic so we can work together to ensure your body’s safety. In many cases, a patient doesn’t realize damage has been done to their body until hours or even days after the accident took place.

Making an appointment with our team after your accident will allow you to start healing faster. Even if you think your injury isn’t substantial, book an appointment for your peace of mind.

The last thing you need is for this unfortunate experience to take more time, money, or comfort away from you.

Common symptoms experienced after a car collision include one or more of the following:

Neck pain
Shoulder pain
Back pain and low back pain
Loss of range of motion or mobility
Sore or stiff muscles or joints, especially in the neck or shoulders
Discomfort when moving and sedentary
Numbness or tingling sensations
Inability to sleep
Headaches

These accident-related symptoms are often a result of a forceful impact and may be due to any of the following:

Herniated disc(s)
Whiplash
Muscles strains or sprains
Lumbar sprains
Spinal stenosis
Concussion

Let our safe rehabilitation and chiropractic services gently get your body back where you want it. We’re safe, cost-effective, quick, and offer more than comfort, but confidence too.

Why Visit a Chiropractor After an Auto Accident

Massage therapy When the body is involved in any kind of unnatural, forceful movement, it’s put at risk and will usually sustain some level of injury. When a vehicle is the cause of the forceful action, the body doesn’t stand a chance against it. Even at 20 MPH, a hit from a car can cause the body a lot of damage.

No matter the severity of impact, discomfort, pain, or financial strain, we want to see you in our chiropractic clinic. You just went through a violent experience, and your adrenaline took over, which allowed you to move and may have allowed you to appear to be fine and fully functioning, but you may be in store for a delayed response to your injuries.

Come see us and get a complete physical. If chiropractic and rehab attention is necessary, we will go over all of your options with you. Then, we’ll put a healing plan in place that you’re comfortable with and that you can afford (if insurance is an issue).

We want to quickly get you back to doing the things you love to do, shortening your downtime and reinforcing the quality of life you want.

Benefits of visiting our Oregon City chiropractic office after your auto injury include:

Speedy recovery process
Little to no downtime
Non-invasive, gentle, natural solutions
Often immediate relief from heightened pain, discomfort, or mobility loss
Body and mind empowerment
Preventative and proactive advice, exercises, and stretches for body safety and longevity
Possible avoidance of surgery and the necessity of prescription medications

With an array of benefits that serve to heal and repair in the most comprehensive, responsible, and effective way possible, you have the ability to take control back. Let us help .

The Benefits of Chiropractic Care After Your Auto Accident

After a vehicle collision, the goal is to improve your ability to move and function so you can continue your daily routine, enjoy physical activities, and have comfort during your social encounters with family and friends. Our chiropractic team wants to help in your recovery process.

Western medicine often relies on invasive surgery, addictive medications, and an approach that calls for a lot of rest and downtime, which means you have to stop doing the things you enjoy. We don’t do that. Our measures are safe and effective. We encourage your daily routine throughout your recovery with modifications that promote strength and health so you can safely continue performing the activities you love.

The sooner you start mobilizing and building your body back up, the better. Your quality of movement is essential, and we make sure you perform your tasks and activities properly. This is a modern approach that works.

Call us to help get your pain under control and your range of motion and mobility back. Our evidence-based techniques won’t let you down.

The Function Performance Chiropractic Process

Our process is smart and streamlined:

Make an appointment
Come in and fill out some paperwork
Discuss your current pain points, current, and past medical care, goals, and abilities
Get a full physical
Learn about the plan we think will suit you best
Get to work!

On your initial visit with us, we may want to start your program, so come prepared in comfortable clothes that allow access to the injured areas. There’s no time like the present to get your body and life back, so why delay?

We want you to live a pain-free, abundant life, and we’re determined to get you there. Our team never over-sells, we’re transparent, we believe in authentic communication throughout your journey with us, and we provide tools for you to live a healthy life well into your future.

If you’ve been in an auto accident, let’s get you better, starting now.

Treating Your Auto Accident Injury

Our team pulls from a variety of holistic treatments and services that work together for the quickest, most reliable, and secure recovery process. Our auto-injury patients have various symptoms caused by various injuries, and we want each individual to be comfortable with the plan put in place. To do this, we will discuss in detail what solutions will work best for them and why.

Schedule An Appointment

Active Release Technique (ART)
Targeting injured muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves, we will minimize scar tissue and restore mobility and function. This gentle technique often subdues pain immediately.
Diversified Chiropractic Technique (DCT)
This technique is used to target specific joints using a swift, controlled, low-amplitude thrust. It restores range of motion, mobility, and comfort.
Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Manipulation (IASTM)
Using chiropractic tools designed to aid in helping restricted joints, the doctor will gently deliver a thrust to the injured vertebrae or joint, allowing for quick results and recovery.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy is a procedure that serves to increase oxygen and blood flow throughout the body, helping with relaxation and healing. We use the class IV laser for our treatments, which is the most advanced level of laser, to ensure quick results.
Kinesiotaping
Applying medical tape to the affected areas, we will minimize pain and inflammation and restore the proper function of the patient’s muscles and joints.
Rehabilitation
After an auto accident or an auto accident-related surgery, we will help get the body functioning as it is meant to through non-invasive rehabilitative exercises and stretches that support the healing and strengthening process.
Corrective exercises and stretches
We know that combining our in-office treatments with at-home corrective exercises and stretches creates a superior road to recovery for patients, enhancing the chiropractic solutions we offer.
Functional Movement Assessment
Assessing your seven full-body movement test results, we can accurately pinpoint movement irregularities that will benefit your treatment plan and help us determine the quickest and safest chiropractic and rehabilitation techniques to use.
Massage therapy
After your body experiences the trauma associated with a vehicle collision, massage therapy will help relax and restore the body. We combine all of our services to optimize results for the most competent, most efficient recovery.

I highly recommend Dr. Kyle Bangs and his team at Function Performance. I was referred to them by my trainer after experiencing a muscle spasm which caused sciatic nerve pain down my left leg. Dr. Kyle Bangs and his team did an amazing job helping me recover over a 5-week period. They focused on my mobility and flexibility, and helped me learn many different stretches and exercises that truly helped me. Their facilities are great and treatment was tailored to my needs. It was not all about just getting adjusted which is a big differentiator for them.

When I first met Dr. Ben and the team at Performance Function I was in such bad shape. I was 10 months post back surgery only to have an MRI with nearly identical results as pre-surgery. Other doctors advised my only real option was another surgery. But after a year of not being able to sit, stand, or walk - I was desperate to find a solution. After 5 weeks, not only can I sit, stand, and walk but I’m starting to incorporate strength training - completely unthinkable a few weeks ago. I cannot recommend them enough - literally changed my life!

I have only seen one chiropractor at this office so I can only speak to that experience. Dr.Ben is kind, patient, knowledgeable, and most of all effective. I have used him twice now for different issues. He never pushes for therapy’s you don’t need and there is never pressure to come back. He will give you exercises and stretches to do at home but doesn’t judge if you aren’t keeping up on your end. Although, all his advice works when implemented. The Ladies at the reception Desk are so polite and friendly. They take all the hard work out of getting the best from your appointments and insurance providers. They exemplify what all health providers should strive to be. I wish I could give more stars.

I have been seeing doctor Kyle for the last two years. At first only when I threw my back out, once a year or so. But now I go in on a monthly routine and it has helped my back tremendously. They are not like your typical chiropractor that spends 5 minutes cracking your back and sends you on your way, they take the time stretching, massaging, and focusing on the area that's giving you problems. They also provide you with stretches and exercises for long term fixes. I am very happy and highly recommend these guys!

Ben, Kyle and their staff at Function Performance are phenomenal. My entire family goes to them. I have children that are athletes, and they do amazing physical therapy, strength training exercises and adjustments. I was in an automobile accident, and have been seeing them ever since.They are professional, extremely knowledgeable and I'm so grateful that myself, and my kids have professionals like them to keep us healthy and to heal.

Dr Ben and Dr Kyle and their support staff really know there stuff! They have always been able to help me with reoccurring back issues that come up from time to time and also all of my sports related injuries. The atmosphere in the building and staff are awesome there as well. I have been going to them for the past 6 years, I highly recommend Function Performance!

Fantastic place! The staff are great! Great communication and they always greet you with a smile! And, they remember your name which seems to be a rarity these days! Dr. Bangs has magic hands and got me back to where I needed to be after a car accident in no time. In fact, my shoulder range of motion might be better than it was to begin with. If I required chiropractic treatment again, I wouldn’t go anywhere else!!
