Whiplash & Auto-Injury Treatment in Nevada City, CA
Recovery after a car accident — gentle, non-surgical care to help you heal and get back to the life you love.
Why early care matters after a crash
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by the sudden, forceful back-and-forth motion of the head — most often during a rear-end collision. The rapid movement strains the muscles, ligaments, joints, and nerves of the cervical spine, even at low speeds.
Pain, stiffness, and headaches can appear hours or even days after the impact, and without prompt care the injury can linger for months. A thorough evaluation soon after the accident helps us identify what's been injured and begin the right care before scar tissue and compensations set in.
Common Symptoms
How we treat whiplash
Care begins with a thorough examination to assess the extent of injury — how the spine, muscles, and nervous system are responding to the crash. From there we build an individualized plan using gentle, progressive chiropractic care and supportive regenerative therapies to restore normal neck function, reduce pain, and prevent lingering problems.
Early, conservative treatment helps you avoid medication dependence and more invasive options — and gets you back to activity sooner.
Therapies to expedite healing
In addition to chiropractic care, we offer advanced regenerative technologies that help injured tissue heal faster — reducing pain, inflammation, and recovery time after an auto accident.
Shockwave Therapy
Focused and radial shockwave deliver acoustic energy deep into injured tendons, ligaments, and fascia — stimulating the body's natural repair processes and breaking down the chronic tissue irritation common after whiplash.
