Whiplash Treatment Options for Del City Patients
A rear-end crash on I-40 moves your head faster than your neck can protect itself, tearing muscle, stretching ligaments, and injuring discs. Standard X-rays miss all of it. Here is how we identify the damage and treat it at the source.
Plus diagnostic imaging coordination, prescription medication management, and a treatment plan matched to your injuries, all designed to help you avoid surgery…
Dr. Christensen: Whiplash Specialist Serving Del City
Neck Injury Doctor for Del City and East Oklahoma City
Whiplash isn't just a sore neck. It tears ligaments, inflames facet joints, herniates discs, and compresses nerves, injuries that rest can't repair. Dr. Blake Christensen identifies the damaged structures in your neck and treats each one.
Double board-certified in Anesthesiology and Interventional Pain Management, he handles your diagnosis and treatment himself, choosing the right interventional procedure and performing it the same day. He has treated Del City patients since 2015.
His fellowship at Rush University focused on interventional pain management: fluoroscopy-guided cervical injections, nerve blocks, and the protocols that separate a muscle strain from a disc herniation. He brings that training to Del City patients whose neck injuries haven't responded to rest and medication.

Why Your Neck Keeps Getting Worse After a Del City Car Accident
Whether it happened on I-40 or at a Del City intersection, a crash can leave you with cervical damage that worsens by the day. If any of these describe your situation, call our clinic:
You can't turn your head to check your mirrors without a sharp pull.
You wake up with a headache before your feet hit the floor.
You feel a constant ache in your shoulders and upper back.
You've noticed numbness or tingling in your arms since the crash.
You can't find a sleeping position that doesn't hurt your neck.
You've rested for over a week and the pain keeps getting worse.
Whiplash tears ligaments and muscles. Without treatment, scar tissue can form and restrict range of motion long-term.

Whiplash Treatment FAQs for Del City Residents
-
The first few days after your crash are the most important window for whiplash treatment in Del City, Oklahoma. Symptoms almost always worsen over the first week as inflammation builds and muscles tighten. Starting treatment early prevents scar tissue from forming and locking in the injury.
-
Yes, a clean ER visit doesn't rule out whiplash. Emergency rooms screen for fractures and internal bleeding, but whiplash damages muscles, ligaments, and discs that X-rays aren't designed to detect. MRIs and nerve studies are what actually find those injuries.
-
Your care starts with cervical imaging to identify where the damage is, followed by targeted injections such as facet joint blocks or trigger point therapy. Dr. Christensen adjusts the treatment plan based on your specific imaging results. Most patients also complete a rehabilitation protocol to restore full range of motion.
-
Our Memorial Park clinic at 13601 Memorial Park Drive, Suite 200 is about 30 minutes northwest of Del City via I-40 and State Hwy 74. The clinic has free parking and a ground-floor entrance, which matters when your neck is too stiff to navigate stairs or a parking garage.
-
Mild whiplash cases usually resolve within three to six weeks of active treatment. More severe cases involving disc herniations or nerve compression can take several months or longer. Your first evaluation gives you a clear timeline based on what your imaging reveals.
-
No, you don't need a referral from your primary care doctor or the Del City ER. You can call our clinic directly at (405) 751-0011, and we'll schedule you the same day or next business day.
-
Yes, we accept all major auto insurance plans, including PIP, Med-Pay, third-party liability, and Letters of Protection. Our team verifies your specific coverage before your first visit and communicates directly with your adjuster throughout treatment.
-
No, patients regularly come to us weeks or even months after their accident. Dr. Christensen examines your current injuries and builds a treatment plan around them. He also produces records that connect your ongoing symptoms back to the original crash for your insurance claim.
-
Soft tissue tears, inflamed facet joints, and most disc injuries respond well when caught early. Even nerve compression cases usually improve with targeted injections before surgery becomes necessary. Dr. Christensen treats 95% of his whiplash patients without surgery.
-
I-40 rear-end collisions are a leading cause of whiplash in Oklahoma. They typically produce neck stiffness, headaches at the base of the skull, shoulder pain, and numbness in the arms. If any of these symptoms appear in the days after your crash, schedule an evaluation right away.

Why Del City Drivers Need a Whiplash Specialist
Rear-end collisions are a leading cause of whiplash in Oklahoma, and the I-40 corridor through Del City sees them daily. High-speed traffic, sudden stops at the I-35 and I-235 interchanges, and rush-hour congestion all raise the risk. Those are the conditions that cause whiplash injuries.
When those injuries happen to Del City residents, the closest specialist with whiplash-specific imaging and interventional treatment is Dr. Blake Christensen at our Memorial Park clinic.
How I-40 Corridor Crashes Cause Whiplash in Del City Drivers
