I was rear ended yielding to turn right at an intersection by someone who wasn’t paying attention and when I was hit, my body was turned left to see if I could go out onto the oncoming traffic. Initially I was in shock, 1st accident, so I didnt know what to think. His car had little damager and my bumper was the only thing damaged. Called my mom and she told me to call the police and get his info and police report. Did that and went to work.
While at work, noticed I was having difficulty standing and experienced pain and stiffness in my neck. Left work early, took meds and went to sleep. Woke up next morning sore, my mom told me to go to Chiropractor and he told me I had a pinch nerve in my neck which caused the stiffness there and pain in my lower back. He set me up on a 5 week treatment and sent me to visit with a lawyer. The lawyer told me since there was little damage to my car that they probably wouldn’t be necessary. I told my chiropractor and he said he would release me VERY soon since my damages were less than 00. Can he do that? What happens now? I’m still in pain from this accident? Will I have to pay the Chiropractor out my own pocket if I seek my 5 week therapy or what happens?
Total damages to my car were roughly 0..

contact your insurance company

Do not use this lawyer or this chiropractor.
The chiropractor set you up on a 5 week plan because that was what the chiropractor thought the insurance company would pay for, and he wanted the money, not because you actually needed 5 weeks of treatment.
I have no idea what the lawyer’s problem is, but he is not telling you the truth either. The amount of damage to the car is not what determines how much treatment is necessary.
Get a real medical doctor, not a chiropractor, and get a better lawyer, one who is recommended by someone without a financial interest in the case, not the chiropractor or doctor.

He can release you if he wants to. If you are still hurting, see a real authentic Doctor. You are always responsible For your own medical bills. You may be reimbursed for them but if not, you will have to pay. An accident is not a ticket to get rich. If you have a lawyer (foolish, IMO) ask the lawyer all of your questions.
