EXCELLENT Based on 101 reviews Posted on Orrie HarrisonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a passenger in an accident. It flipped my whole world upside down. I was broken inside and out. The entire experience with this place saved my life. Physically and emotionally. Thank you for helping me. Thank you for what you do for people.Posted on Samuel BladTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Moved here and the day I arrived I threw my back out and wasn’t in great shape at all. Val got me in as soon she could and gave me the verbal encouragement I needed while in severe pain until my appt. At the appointment they were able to align and get me going again. No more pain! Thank you Dr. Kostin and see ya soon for any preventatives so this doesn’t happen again.Posted on Charissa McGinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had over 15 years of back pain, jumping through all the medical hoops I can to get help, be heard and be seen. I have seen chiropractors in the past with little to no relief and promises of straitening my spine (roto scoliosis). I have been here a few times, first time Valerie helped me with insurance and what is covered or not. Today I went in not sure if I was going to go back because I haven't had much relief with the past couple appointments (3). I was seen by Dr Darcy and this was the first time in a very long time someone has taken time out of their day to actually understand what's going on with me and hear me out. She was extremely helpful and attentive to what I needed and also realistic of the outcome. She literally was the first person and over 5 years that helped me. And then they went above and beyond after my appointment. After speaking with Valerie and the team today I feel more taken care of than I have in a long time. That speaks volumes and I will forever be grateful. Thank you all so much.Posted on AlenaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Kostin has taken care of me and my family for many years. My husband, sons, and daughters have all had great treatment here.

I will definitely go back and would definitely recommend this chiropractor!Posted on Vanessa LinnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was a patient over two years ago. Life got in the way but I returned in desperate need of an adjustment. Valerie the admin coordinator/receptionist/scheduler/magician was able to get me in for a an adjustment the same day within 30 mins of my call. Dr. K got me back in alignment and feeling instantly better! I am now committing to keeping my health a priority and returning to regular appointments. This clinic accepts my insurance and is so close to home it makes it incredibly convenient, and the staff is awesome! They are multi-lingual, speaking both Russian and Spanish that I have witnessed, and they know their stuff. I will be back and bringing my husband along, too!Posted on Eric GrumboTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Springwater chiropractic is awesome.

Because numbing the pain isn’t the same as healing.
Medication may take the edge off, but it can’t restore joint motion, calm irritated nerves, or remodel injured soft tissue. Our chiropractic care for whiplash gently re-introduces healthy movement so tissues recover the way they were designed to.
What better feels like:
Looking for a whiplash chiropractor who treats the cause—not just the symptoms? You’re in the right place.
No cookie-cutter protocols here. Your plan is tailored to the injury, your work/life demands, and how your body responds.
Restore motion to irritated joints and reduce nerve sensitivity. If you prefer, we can use instrument-assisted or non-thrust mobilization.
Myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and instrument-assisted techniques to ease spasm, reduce adhesions, and improve blood flow.
Helps reduce disc and nerve pressure and can calm radiating arm symptoms.
Deep neck flexor activation, scapular stability, graded range-of-motion, nerve glides; vestibular/ocular drills if dizziness or visual strain are present.
Sleep positions, pillow selection, desk setup, drive posture, and pacing strategies to avoid flare-ups.
We coordinate with your MD, PT, or dentist (for jaw issues) and order imaging only when it will change your plan.
Calm pain and inflammation; gentle mobility; activity modifications; sleep & driving strategies.
Progressive adjustments/mobilization, soft-tissue care, traction/decompression as indicated, and light neuromuscular training.
Deep neck flexors, scapular strength, posture endurance, graded return to work/exercise.
Performance progressions, ergonomic fine-tuning, and a simple maintenance plan so relief lasts.
Years focused on post-impact recovery
When you hurt, you shouldn’t wait
Adjustments, soft-tissue, rehab, and advanced modalities
Licensed team, gentle techniques, clear plans
Most plans accepted, plus PIP for auto injuries
serving Fairview and our neighbors for 15+ years
Springwater Chiropractic proudly serves employees and accident victims in Fairview, OR, as well as:
Yes. Even small impacts can create rapid back-and-forth motion of the neck. Ligaments, joints, and muscles can be irritated without broken bones or dramatic scans. If you don’t feel like yourself, that matters—and we listen.
It can be. Inflammation and muscle guarding often build over 24–72 hours. Delayed headaches, stiffness, or dizziness are common after whiplash—and treatable.
Seek urgent medical attention for: severe or worsening headache, double vision, repeated vomiting, loss of consciousness, slurred speech, new weakness or numbness, trouble walking, bowel/bladder changes, or severe neck pain after major trauma. Otherwise, a chiropractor for whiplash is a smart first step—and we’ll refer if anything concerns us.
Whiplash and concussion symptoms can overlap (foggy thinking, light sensitivity, dizziness). We screen for concussion signs and can coordinate with your physician. If concussion is suspected, we adapt care and include gentle vestibular/ocular drills as appropriate.
They shouldn’t. Early on, we use the gentlest techniques your body tolerates—often instrument-assisted or low-amplitude methods. As you improve, we introduce more movement as needed and only with your consent.
That may indicate nerve irritation. Care can include specific joint work, decompression, and nerve glides to reduce pressure and restore normal signaling.
It depends on the injury and how long it’s been. Many patients feel change in the first few visits; complex cases take longer. You’ll get a clear, written plan so expectations are never a mystery.
Only if history/exam findings suggest it or if imaging would change the plan (trauma, neurological deficits, lack of progress). We avoid tests that don’t help you heal.
Absolutely. We’ll pace your return to driving with gentle mobility work, vision drills, posture tips, and confidence-building progressions. Your feelings are valid—we move at your speed.
Short, frequent movement breaks; chin tucks; gentle shoulder-blade squeezes; diaphragmatic breathing; neutral-spine rest with a supportive pillow; and brief icing for acute flares (10–15 min). We’ll tailor a simple routine that fits your day.
Most plans cover chiropractic care for whiplash. We verify benefits up front and accept PIP for auto collisions. If you’re paying out of pocket, we’ll outline clear, affordable options.
Often, yes. Our integrated approach addresses joint motion, soft-tissue quality, nerve sensitivity, and movement control—four pieces that, together, frequently change stubborn cases.
Get the specialized care that gets you back to work – not just functioning, but thriving. Because the cost of waiting isn’t just money. It’s everything you’ve worked for.
Don’t let a work injury define your future. Let recovery define your comeback.
