After a wreck like yours, besides any overt bruises that you may see, your ligament/tendon/fascial are in shocked. Your disc may get compressed and misaligned. I'd recommend that you talk to local friends and see if there are chiropractors they can recommend. Unfortunately, there are some charlatans out there, but I think you can spot them out easily enough. This sort of shock could cause long term problems if left untreated :-( Good luck.
