Sorry to hear, I hope you feel better soon! I was in a car accident almost 4 years ago. I was rear-ended and my car was a total loss. Keep in mind that lawyers never want to take these cases to court because it's time consuming. They will help you try to settle your case, which can do yourself. Going to a chiropractor did not make it better for me. During the first year, I had headaches every month. Now I get them easier but at least I don't monthly anymore.

oh no! have you tried physical therapy vs. chiro? i was in a car accident some time ago and chiro didn't help me. but then i went to several sessions of PT and my neck improved a lot. please take care of yourself =/ headaches can be killer!

thanks for the tips :)

yah, i was in a car accident about the same time as you. I remember the first 6 months, I had a headache EVERYDAY. then it was 3-4 times a week for another year, and finally, I get them once a week or once every couple weeks. depends on my stress level :P

I also developed tmj from whiplash so that is also the cause of my headaches. if I'm tense, my upper back will hurt, which makes my neck hurt, which causes my jaw to hurt which almost immobilizes me by giving me a massive headache. =/

physical therapy helped me more than chiro. that and the massages. loved the massages!! I have an exercise ball and I still do physical therapy exercises to help strengthen my neck and body in general. It helps to decrease the chances of a pain flare-up. (I've been slacking, so I am picking it back up again).
