Have you tried physiotherapy?

No, I haven't. This constant pain is fairly new and I haven't even talked to the doc yet about it.

Not one doc's ever said anything about not having deep tissue massage done. So I never thought anything of it. Whiplash can have some long-lasting effects on people. I'm apparently one of them given the persistence of the back spasms. But I lived in pain for 7 years after the accident which caused a recurrent shoulder dislocation requiring surgery.
