Thanks Mark & Galaxy. Mark, where do you recommend we begin if we want to look into neck issues? I have good mobility in my neck and not dramatically more tension than before the accident in my neck and shoulders.

Start with a chiropracter? Or....what kind of doctor?

Thank you

I have been talking about the need for good sleep and resting posture. I know that it is important because I have experienced improvements myself. The subtle upper neck injuries treated by a AO or NUCCA chiro will not heal without disciplined posture.

Insurance will usually not cover the diagnostics part of AO or NUCCA. Be prepared for up to $600 in diagnostics/x-rays, etc.
