Whiplash, back injuries, and soft tissue damage after a car accident require specialized care. Dr. Etemadi provides thorough documentation and effective treatment — and we work directly with personal injury attorneys and insurance carriers.
⚠️ Don't Wait. Auto accident injuries often don't show symptoms for 24–72 hours. Early evaluation and documentation is critical — both for your health and any insurance claim.
Why Chiropractic After an Accident?
The forces involved in even a low-speed collision can cause significant damage to the spine, discs, muscles, and ligaments — damage that may not be visible on a standard X-ray but can cause months or years of pain if left untreated.
Whiplash — the sudden forward-and-back motion of the neck in a collision — is the most common auto injury. It overstretches the ligaments and muscles of the cervical spine, often causing misalignment that generates nerve irritation, headaches, shoulder pain, and upper back tightness.
Dr. Etemadi specializes in identifying and treating the full spectrum of auto accident injuries, from acute whiplash to herniated discs caused by impact. Equally important, he provides thorough documentation of your injuries — which is essential if you are working with an insurance company or personal injury attorney.
Cervical spine injury from rapid head movement — the most common collision injury
Impact forces can cause disc material to push into nerve space

If symptoms aren't improving as expected, we refer you for an MRI to look closely at the discs and nerves.
Depending on the MRI results, we coordinate a referral to a pain management specialist.
