First, sorry to hear about your accident. Several months ago I was involved in a head on collision with someone who ran a stop sign (police chief's daughter no less!!!). I saw an orthopedic doctor, who also referred my to a physical therapist. I also eventually ended up visiting a chiropractor. I feel happy with the treatment that I got from all three, and think the combination was good for me. My MRI showed a bulged disc in my lower back, and soft tissue damage in my neck. I still have some problems with it to this day, unfortunately.
On a side note, be very careful with dealing with the insurance company, especially the person's who hit you. From my experience, I would warn you against making ANY type of agreements with, or even statements to, the insurance company. They are looking to minimize their liability, with little regard for seeing to it you get the proper care. I don't think this is the forum to get into great detail about it, but you might start a thread elsewhere to ask for advice about that as well. Or, feel free to PM me about it (though you might as well solicit opinions from all of us, not just listen to my "bad" experience).
