Anon - Is your chiropractor the only health professional that's treated your neck. If so you may want to seek a second opinion. A whip lash type of injury can sometimes lead to other disorders years after the accident, including degenerative cervical arthritis, which affects the bones and cartilage in the neck. You may also want to try
using some anti-inflammatory medicines, such as ibuprofen, for relief when the pain occurs. You should definitely see your physician if the pain gets worse or starts occurring more frequently. You may also find the following information on neck strain to be helpful: http://www.emedicinehealth.com/neck_strain/article_em.htm
I hope this helps you and that you'll let us know what you learn.
Take care,
Pat
