Whiplash Treatment Options for Guthrie Patients

Plus diagnostic imaging coordination, prescription medication management, and treatment plans built around the specifics of your collision, all designed to help you avoid surgery…
Dr. Christensen: Whiplash Specialist Serving Guthrie
Neck Injury Doctor for Guthrie and Logan County
Whiplash isn't just a sore neck. It tears ligaments, inflames facet joints, herniates discs, and compresses nerves that rest alone won't fix. Dr. Blake Christensen identifies which structures in your neck are damaged 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 Guthrie 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 Guthrie patients whose neck injuries haven't responded to rest and medication.

Why Your Neck Keeps Getting Worse After a Guthrie Car Accident
A rear-end crash on I-35 or a hit at a Guthrie intersection can leave you with cervical damage that worsens by the day. If any of this describes your situation, call our clinic:
You can't turn your head to check your mirrors without a sharp pull
You wake up with headaches 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 aggravate your neck
You've rested for over a week and the pain keeps increasing
Whiplash tears ligaments and muscles. Without treatment, scar tissue forms and restricts range of motion permanently.

Whiplash Treatment FAQs for Guthrie Residents
-
The first few days after your crash are the most important window for whiplash treatment in Guthrie, 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 like 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 Dr is about 25 to 30 minutes south of Guthrie via I-35. 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 Guthrie ER. You can call our clinic directly at (405) 751-0011 and we'll work to schedule you the same day or next business day.
-
Yes, we accept all major auto insurance types 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 evaluates where your injuries stand today and builds a treatment plan for your current condition. 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-35 rear-end collisions are the leading cause of whiplash in Oklahoma and typically produce neck stiffness, headaches starting 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.
