My neurologist seemed to think that my issues are stemming from my neck. These include tingling which also goes to the right side of the back of my head, pressure either side of the back of my head, headaches, trouble with screens or monitors and concentration brings on the above with added gusto. I have no idea how to ease this type of suspected whiplash injury other the just wait in misery for it to maybe go away one day.

Have you had any physical therapy for the neck at all?
If you prefer to avoid chiro again try PT. A good one of course..

The neurologist did not mention PT or anything? hmmm.
If any dr is not being of much help seek out a better one..or get another opinion or more.
It's your life so you have to be proactive to find the best care possible, don't settle for less.

PT often can help with whiplash/soft tissue injuries..

Doozer,

You might look for an osteopath or D.O. as they are labeled here rather than M.D. They usually have some less aggressive spinal manipulation skills.

My PT would lay be on the table on my back. Grab my head and put gentle tension/traction that gently manipulated C-1 with her fingers or gently rock my head under traction until she could sense a change. My PT is one in a million. I hope you can find one with similar skills.

Ok I will try looking for one of those. This is a sorry state of affairs, I hope I can recover soon, I'm bored with this now.

I think most of us would benefit from trying to adopt the correct posture when standing and sitting at the devils window (computer). It has a big impact on breathing and hence blood oxygen. I know I slouch too much and I sometimes find I even need to relax my shoulders in bed too. I went to a chiro a couple of times but can't say it had much benefit, I think a physio would have been better, gentle manipulation rather than bone cracking which I am not convinced does much.

Yeah, that's what I thought. I think I made the right choice by both not getting conned and not making a bad condition potentially worse. Thanks all.

There are good & bad practitioners/providers in every aspect of life, be aware and weed out the bad as soon as possible.

Learn as much as you can about PT, MD, DC, DO before you go , so if they suggest or try something sketchy you can say "no thanks" and go elsewhere..

The chiro 'bone cracking' in places other than C-1 and maybe C-2 can be amazingly beneficial. But, C-1 and C-2 need a gentler approach for many. The issue is not as much posture while awake and looking at the computer as it is that posture when the muscles are relaxed, sleeping or resting. We can put a lot of strain on the C-0 (occiput) to C-1( Atlas) and C-1 to C-2 when sleeping. Those joints do not have the self lubricating function the lower joints have so when they get out of place, they can tend to stay that way. Then, the ligaments get stretched and the surrounding tissue inflamed.

Many feel uncomfortable with their head laying flat. Maybe there is a vestibular memory. It is a learned behavior to be able to rest or sleep with minimal pillow lift when on your back. It can be learned because many have. I use no pillow lift at all. I bunch up my pillow to the side so my right cheek rests against it. A challenge is falling asleep without tossing to change position/posture. I wonder if sleeping with a cervical collar would help.

I must admit, my posture isn't great. I try to straighten up whenever I catch myself slouching. Spine has a curve on it, but again, old news. Never caused any trouble pre injury.

Slouching has nothing to do with upper neck posture. There is an old song that starts: "The head bone is connected to the neck bone" An impact to the head also impacts the upper neck. Studies show that upper neck injuries contribute to PCS symptoms in up to 80% of cases.

Posture is about maintaining good head and neck posture so healing can happen. If you break a bone, they put a cast on it so it is stable as it heals. The upper neck needs that same stability so the ligaments and tendons can heal. Plus, poor head and neck position causes inflammation. One wants to avoid causing that inflammation at all costs.

For me, one of my problems was getting progressive lenses in my glasses. I started needing to tilt my head back and forth to find the focus spot in my glasses. This appeared to aggravate my upper neck until I got disciplined to support healing. I can hear the C-1 to C-0 joint grind as I move my head up and down.
