Specialized urgent care in Glendale
Sometimes you need to be seen today — and sometimes what you need is a prescription, not a natural alternative. Our board-certified nurse practitioners provide same-day evaluation with the full range of options available, including medication when that’s the right call.
Please note: this is not emergency care. For chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury, stroke symptoms, or any life-threatening situation — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
What We Handle
Acute Pain Flare-Ups
When a manageable problem suddenly isn’t, and waiting for a routine appointment isn’t realistic.
Muscle Spasms
Back or neck spasms that have locked you up and need to settle before anything else can help.
Minor Injuries & Strains
Sprains, strains, and soft tissue injuries that need assessment to best gauge treatment.
New Work Injuries
Same-day evaluation with the documentation your claim will require.
Post-Accident Evaluation
Assessment after a collision, including for symptoms that surfaced days later.
Sudden Back or Neck Pain
Pain that came on quickly and needs to be looked at rather than waited out.
What Makes This Different From a Walk-In Clinic
Standard urgent care
You’re seen, given a prescription, and discharged with instructions to follow up with someone else. The immediate pain gets managed; the reason it happened doesn’t.
Here at InnerMovement
You get the same immediate relief, and then — in the same clinic, often the same week — chiropractic, acupuncture, or soft tissue care aimed at why it happened. Acute treatment becomes the start of actually addressing the problem rather than a standalone episode.
What We Can Provide
Full Evaluation
Examined properly, not triaged through.
Prescriptions
When medication is the appropriate treatment.
Injections
Available depending on the injury or pain.
Injury Documentation
For workers’ comp and personal injury claims.
Imaging Referral
When further diagnostics are warranted.
Same-Day Handoff
Get ongoing care with our wellness team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call first. Same-day availability varies by day, and a quick phone call means we can tell you whether we can see you and roughly when — rather than you sitting in a waiting room. If we can’t fit you in, we’ll say so on the phone.
Yes. Our nurse practitioners are licensed to prescribe, so if medication is what your situation calls for, that’s available in the same visit. It also means the conversation is genuinely about what would help most rather than being limited to one discipline’s toolkit.
Go to the ER — or call 911 — for chest pain, difficulty breathing, severe bleeding, head injury, stroke symptoms, severe abdominal pain, or anything that feels life-threatening. Also for major trauma, obvious fractures, or deformity.
We’re appropriate for pain, strains, muscle spasms, minor injuries, and work or accident evaluation. If you’re uncertain, call us and we’ll help you decide — and we’ll tell you plainly when the ER is the right answer.
Yes, and we handle the documentation that comes with it. If you have a claim number and adjuster contact, bring them. If the injury just happened and nothing’s been filed yet, call anyway — we’ll help you understand the next step. See our Work Injuries page for how the process runs.
We accept Medicare, specific PPO plans, workers’ comp, personal injury/lien cases, FSA/HSA, and cash. Call and we’ll verify your specific coverage before you come in.
