Default Neck Injury

I have been reading throughout the other posts about neck injuries.

I am PCS month 20 and understand that a neck injury causes symptoms that overlap with PCS.

I have a headache 24/7. Long term it has gotten better, but it is still severe.

There was a suggestion to get your neck checked out by a upper cervical chiropractor ( we don't have one where I live).

"This can be done by a great orthopedist, an orthopedic neurosurgeon, or an upper cervical chiropractor. Many of his symptoms could be due to unresolved neck issues. " (from other post)

Ok, say I go to my doctor and get a referral for a orthopedist...
and they say I have a neck injury.

What would change as far as my treatment plan?

Can they fix anything?

Would I get an xray or just an assessment?

Could I just have my GP get an Xray?

PLease explain, than you very much.
