Whiplash care
Whiplash care that starts with a careful exam.
Whiplash happens when the head is thrown forward and back in a collision, straining the muscles, ligaments, and joints of the neck. We evaluate the full picture and build a plan around your recovery.
Common whiplash symptoms
Neck pain and stiffness, reduced range of motion, headaches at the base of the skull, shoulder tension, dizziness, and fatigue. Symptoms may appear immediately or develop over the following days.
How we approach whiplash
We assess neck mobility, posture, and nerve function, refer for imaging when needed, and recommend conservative care such as adjustments and soft-tissue work, matched to your stage of recovery.
Documentation from day one
Your symptoms and progress are recorded at every visit, and narrative reports are available if your case requires them.
Symptoms we evaluate
- Neck pain or stiffness
- Headaches at the base of the skull
- Reduced range of motion
- Shoulder and upper-back tension
- Dizziness
- Pain turning your head while driving
Fast first visits
Same-day and next-day appointments are offered after an accident so evaluation is not delayed.
Imaging referrals
When the exam calls for it, the doctor refers for X-ray or MRI and reviews the findings with you.
Narrative reports
Doctor-written narrative reports document the injury, examination findings, and care recommendations.
Spanish-speaking care
Dr. Adam Molden is fluent in English and Spanish, so patients can explain symptoms in the language they're most comfortable with.
Common questions
Can whiplash show up days after a crash?
Yes. Delayed onset is common with whiplash, which is why an evaluation is worthwhile even if you felt fine at the scene.
Should I go to the ER first?
Yes, if you have severe pain, numbness, weakness, head injury symptoms, or anything that feels like an emergency. Chiropractic evaluation is appropriate once urgent medical issues have been addressed.
Will my visits be documented?
Yes. Every visit records your symptoms, examination findings, and care plan. Doctor-written narrative reports are available when needed.
