Should I see a therapist or chiropractor/orthopedist?

Question

I've wanted to see a therapist for years for depression and other issues but could never afford it.
I was in a car accident about 2 years ago and since then I've had neck pain. My back is also in pain like all the time and I don't know why. I'm only 24 🙃
Let's be honest I need to see both lol. But if I can only afford one, which do you think I should go with?

Answer

After my car accident seeing the chiropractor helped me soooo much. The impact hurt my back, my neck, and i wound up seeing an endodontist for a fracture in my teeth. (Wound up keeping them praise God)the accident messed up my back though which in turn caused the pain I was having in both my back and neck since the alignment was off.

Answer

In terms of your physical pain it would depend on the type and severity of the injury you have. You have only mentioned that you have pain and not actually listed a specific injury. If your pain is in the muscle than a chiropractor  might not be able to do much for you, as their field of practice is more in correcting bone alignment. 
As to the other practitioner, do you mean an orthopaedic surgeon? Again if you have not had a referal or check up to suggest you need such extrem care, I'm not sure this is warranted. 
Given the limited information you have listed I would suggest going to see a physiotherapist. Their area of expertise is helping people after injuries. They will be able to diagnose what is causing your pain and help you will exercises and treatment that will help alleviate the pain. At the very least they will be able to refer you to someone else. 
After that you should have money to see someone about your depression. In the mean time think about if you want to see a counselor (usually works in crisis centers), a psychologist (usually works in private practice), or a psychiatrist (a doctor who works in private practice and prescribes drugs). If you want to talk through your depression try a counselor or psychologist. If you need medication to help with your chemical imbalances try a psychiatrist or vist your general practitioner. 
You could also seek help from support groups or through email or phone counselling.

Answer

if you have insurance, it should pay for your chiropractor. maybe even therapist. but id go to a chiropractor first because theres plenty of people you can talk to about your depression for free. keep your head up💛
