You probably got prescriptions for muscle relaxants and pain pills?

Were you the driver? What part(s) of your back hurts--neck, low back?

Did the doctor suggest physical therapy? Would you be willing to go for PT or to a chiropractor? Call the doctor who treated you to ask about PT. Would your health insurance cover either one?

Did they do x-rays? I'd say it's time to go back to the ER.

One of the ER doctors can give you a referral for PT. (The other driver's insurance company will want this all above board with a referral.) I'd even ask about chiropractic treatment, but most doctors will send you to PT. PT might include diathermy (heat and electric pulsing or TENS, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation), jacuzzi, spinal manipulation and/or massage, intermittent traction.
