Whiplash

I was rear-ended at a red light on Jan 30th, at about 15-20mph. My neck hurt that evening, and has been getting progressively worse. I was treated by my chiropractor 4 times since the injury, and it has not improved permanently (only temporarily). It is painful to turn my neck for more than a few moments (I can’t sleep with a turned neck, or turn my neck to talk with someone for more than a couple minutes, etc, without feeling pain).

I am wondering which treatment is most effective for whiplash neck injuries: chiropractic care (maybe with a new chiro), or physical therapy.

Any sensible help is very very very much appreciated.
Thanks!
As far as the pain goes, it’s not starting to run down my arm or anything, but just becoming stiffer and more intense in my neck.

My son and I were in a accident in January. We were at a dead stop and we were rear ended by another vehicle. My son broke his wrist and I have severe whiplash. I am still in pain 10 months later. Ugh! What is a typical whiplash settlement? Anyone have a similar situation and how much did you settle for? My sons situation is totally different as he had surgery and cast etc. He will get much more than I. Just wondering about my injuries. We do have a lawyer but he never gives me numbers.

A few months ago a very nice lady ran into the back of my car and wrote it off!
Now from that day till this I am in constant pain in my neck.
But over the last few weeks the pain has started to move more into my right shoulder.
My question is..
I know that whiplash affects the neck but can it also effect the shoulder area?
Thanks for your help

Should I see a chiropractor or a pain management doctor?

A few weeks ago I was in a weird position lying in bed and something startled me causing me to jump, hurl myself forward, and leave my Left arm and shoulder behind! In other words, I dislocated it for a minute then it popped back into place. I cried out in pain. Ever since then, I cant sleep with my Left arm up under the pillow, and sleeping is pretty much a difficult task now. My boyfriend says there are many large "knots" in my neck so he rubs them out and that is the only way I can get relief. Hes not here now, its 6 am, and I cant sleep!

When I was younger I had a bike accident that gave me a concussion and whiplash. Should I see a chiropractor or do they really know what they are doing? Would a family doctor, pain management doctor, or nurse practitioner be better?
