One speciality of Dr. Kjaer is helping people recover from car accidents. Dr. Kjaer’s approach to whiplash injuries is to help return full function to all the damaged tissues ie. joints, ligaments, muscles, tendons, nerves and/​or discs. Treatment includes repositioning damaged joints and rehabilitating the soft tissues. This reduces swelling, restores proper movement and accelerates healing of injured soft tissues. Ultimately, the goal is to minimize the amount of scar tissue that forms. He can minimize any permanent weakness from the accident and delay the onset of arthritis.

Dr. Kjaer is also renowned for helping children. Kids are treated at the office every day. Many have come from recommendations of pediatricians, medical doctors and from other families in Victoria and southern Vancouver Island.
