I agree that neck and soft tissue factors can often be an issue especially when jolts & little bumps flare up symptoms.

I often suggest to new members, expert PT or expert chiropractic evaluation for misalignments, strains & related soft tissue injuries, whiplash, trigger points...it is just a good idea to get those possibilities checked out..
Also upper cervical assessment if needed..

It does not take much force to misalign the c1 c2 or strain neck muscles..
