Would this kind of event even be enough to really injure the neck with whiplash type damage or worse? Would you guys see a doctor about it? It sounds like whiplash can occur at slow speeds and by seemingly minor accidents. I'm also concerned it could get worse as this was only 3 hours ago.

My head and neck positioning was perhaps at an awkward angle as it happened as I was rushed and trying to use the door clicker while I was still backing up.

I can move the head forward and touch the chest with my chin and touch the side of my head to the top of the shoulder when moving left/right. I can also bend my head/neck back. But there's a bit of discomfort turning to the side while looking downward, when doing circular 360 degree head turns in either direction and somewhat while lying down with the head/neck slightly raised at around a 45 degree angle.
