Many have found help from an Upper Cervical Chiropractor (NUCCA.org) who specializes in the very find adjustments to Atlas (C-1). The classic 'twist and pop' chiros are usually too aggressive for this area. Some Physical therapists have some gentle manipulation and traction techniques that help with this, too.
Be sure to ice the upper neck before and after these treatments.

Having had similar symptoms, they are going to do an MRI Cspine next week.

Aside from the horrible headaches, I have the numbness/pins and needles feeling in my arms/hands (sometimes legs/feet) and weak arm muscles. Doc thought it was the medicine at first, now he's not sure.

Also have cold hands/feet. (but warm heart)
