Sure. Good idea to: see a neurologist. He/she can examine you and give you a proper diagnosis. You may start w/your family doc and if he/she thinks it appropriate will refer you. Peace and good health.

Suggestions: Car accidents can cause a myriad of problems, including neck and shoulder pains, and injury to discs and nerves. There may be many rehab doctors in your city and a physiatrist may be a more direct choice, but an osteopathic physician can address this also. If they suspect nerve damage, then a neurologist is appropriate.
