Same-Day Car Accident Injury Evaluations
After an accident, get a careful evaluation and a clear explanation of your next steps. Dr. Po takes time to discuss your symptoms, answer questions, and recommend care suited to your findings.
No referral is needed to schedule an evaluation after an auto accident. You do not need to wait for pain to “settle” before being evaluated. Dr. Po provides focused chiropractic care to help restore movement, reduce pain, and support recovery after an auto accident.
Vehicle accidents can cause injuries that worsen over time. Early evaluation and treatment are important for recovery and proper documentation.
Personal Injury & Attorney Referrals
We work with attorneys and provide clear documentation for personal injury cases.
Car accidents can cause neck pain, back pain, whiplash, headaches, stiffness, and soft tissue injuries, even when symptoms do not appear right away.
Motion Wellness accepts qualified car accident cases on a medical lien basis. If you are working with a personal injury attorney, you may request that your attorney contact our office to coordinate care. This allows eligible patients to receive treatment while their injury claim is being handled.

Whiplash, Neck Pain, and Back Pain After a Collision
Whiplash is one of the most common injuries after a car accident, especially when the head and neck are suddenly forced forward and backward. This can irritate the joints, muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the cervical spine.
Back pain is also common because the force of a collision can travel through the spine, pelvis, ribs, and surrounding muscles. Even when the damage to the vehicle looks minor, the body may still absorb a significant amount of force.
A chiropractic evaluation can help identify whether your pain is coming from restricted joints, muscle guarding, soft tissue strain, nerve irritation, or a combination of factors.

FAQ: Whiplash Chiropractic Care
After serious injuries have been ruled out and an appropriate treatment plan is established, gentle movement and a gradual return to everyday activity are generally encouraged for uncomplicated whiplash. Prolonged rest or unnecessary use of a neck collar may slow recovery. Your activity should be adjusted to your symptoms and clinical advice.
Yes. Whiplash can occur in low-speed collisions when a sudden jolt strains the neck. Symptoms and examination findings help determine the appropriate care; the speed of the collision alone cannot rule out injury.
Yes. A normal X-ray does not rule out whiplash or every soft-tissue injury. X-rays help assess bones, while an examination evaluates neck movement, tenderness, strength, and sensation. Further imaging is considered when findings suggest another injury.
Yes. Whiplash symptoms can appear several hours after an accident, including neck pain, stiffness, headaches, and shoulder or arm discomfort. The NHS explains this delay of whiplash symptoms.
