Rhode Island chiropractor publishes attorney guide on injury documentation

Dr. Mark J. Mulak has published a new guide for plaintiff attorneys on objective documentation in motor vehicle injury cases. The book, released through Cityside Press and available on Amazon, focuses on clinical tools that can strengthen causation, impairment and functional-loss claims.

Why it matters: - Motor vehicle injury cases often turn on whether clinicians can document objective findings beyond pain complaints and standard CT or MRI results. - The new guide is aimed at helping plaintiff attorneys build stronger medical-legal records in Rhode Island injury cases and beyond. - The book is designed to support causation analysis, impairment assessment and functional-loss arguments.

What happened: - Dr. Mark J. Mulak, founder of Cityside Chiropractic in Rhode Island, published The Objective Injury Model: A Plaintiff Attorney’s Guide to Objective Documentation in Motor Vehicle Injury Cases. - Cityside Press published the book. - The book is available on Amazon. - The release was issued from Providence, Rhode Island, on September 16, 2026.

The details: - The guide presents five objective assessment categories for motor vehicle injury documentation. - Those categories are computerized oculomotor screening for post-concussion documentation, force-plate vestibular and balance testing, Computerized Radiographic Mensuration Analysis for cervical ligamentous instability and spinal biomechanics, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound and computerized neurocognitive assessment. - Cityside Chiropractic says the practice uses PostureRay CRMA, RightEye oculomotor screening, BTrackS balance testing, CNS Vital Signs neurocognitive screening and RMSK-credentialed diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound. - Mulak has more than 20 years of clinical experience focused on motor vehicle accident injury evaluation. - Mulak serves as Rhode Island State Delegate to the American Chiropractic Association. - Mulak is expert witness qualified through Cleveland University. - Mulak participated as a Delphi Panelist on peer-reviewed clinical practice guidelines for neck pain, headache and back pain. - Mulak also holds diplomate credentials in sports medicine and chiropractic rehabilitation and is Registered in Musculoskeletal Sonography. - Mulak has a Graduate Certificate in Healthcare Compliance from Drexel University’s Thomas R. Kline School of Law. - Cityside Chiropractic operates offices in Providence and Cranston. - The practice provides evaluation, treatment and objective documentation for patients injured in motor vehicle collisions and other traumatic events. - Cityside Chiropractic has served Rhode Island since 2002. - The practice offers concussion assessment, CRMA, diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound, vestibular assessment, neurocognitive screening, rehabilitation and impairment evaluation. - Cityside Chiropractic says lien basis is available for personal injury patients. - Cityside Chiropractic offers bilingual English and Spanish services.

Between the lines: - The book reflects a broader push in personal injury medicine to document injuries with measurable findings when imaging does not show clear damage. - For attorneys, that can shift a case from symptom-focused storytelling to evidence-based medical reporting. - For chiropractors and other providers, the guide positions objective testing as a bridge between clinical care and courtroom use.

What's next: - The book will likely be used as a reference tool by plaintiff attorneys, healthcare providers and others involved in motor vehicle injury claims. - Cityside Chiropractic will continue offering injury evaluation and objective testing from its Providence and Cranston offices. - Dr. Mulak’s public materials and professional profile may continue to support the book’s use in medical-legal education.

The bottom line: - Dr. Mulak is betting that objective testing can make motor vehicle injury cases easier to prove, especially when standard imaging is inconclusive.
