Concussion Care After a Car Accident in Troutdale
A concussion does not require hitting your head. The fast back-and-forth motion of a collision can injure the brain and the neck at the same time.
Our Troutdale clinic is minutes from I-84 in historic downtown Troutdale, serving patients across Troutdale, Gresham, Fairview, Wood Village, and Corbett.

Common symptoms we see
Symptoms can be easy to miss in the first days, and they often overlap with whiplash. Our Troutdale team screens for concussion as part of every auto injury exam and builds a care plan that addresses both.
Headache, neck pain, dizziness, trouble concentrating, light or noise sensitivity, fatigue, sleep changes, irritability, and blurred vision.
How we help
- Concussion screening during your auto injury exam, using standardized symptom questionnaires
- Neck assessment, because neck injury can cause or worsen headaches and dizziness
- A gradual, symptom-guided return to activity and work
- Chiropractic care, massage and exercises for the neck and upper back
- Referral and coordination with your primary care provider, a neurologist, or other specialists when needed
- Documentation for your PIP or injury claim
Why it matters for your claim
Concussion symptoms that are not documented early can be harder to connect to the accident later. A prompt exam creates a clear record.
