Muscle spasm: After accident, most pain is muscle spasms and inflammation. Try heat, massage, hot baths, anti inflammatories. Therapy can help too. If no improvement, may need MRI to evaluate more.

Whiplash. : Ct is mainly used to rule out fracture or internal bleeding. You likely have soft tissue injury like whiplash. The force of an accident can also stretch and injury small nerves within the muscular layers that can cause the numbness and pain. You will likely get better in time but if not significantly better in a few weeks then get get checked out.
