How should I sleep with scoliosis?

With the high side of the curve up.

Your spine can wear out faster than it should.

Free consultations vary from one office or practitioner to another. I don't see anything wrong with giving away a brief 5 minute consult, but any longer than that you are actually taking on more liability if something is missed in only a consult.

Yes. If it has been months since your accident and you're still having discomfort then by all means you should be examined by a chiropractor and possibly have X-rays taken of the complaint area and more if recommended by the chiropractor that you are examined by. If this reveals an issue that chiropractic can help with, then go through the treatment as chiropractors are trained to treat an array of injuries as result of a motor vehicle accident. They may refer you to a physical therapist, orthopedic or neurologist if they feel those types of providers would be better at treating you.
