Some videos on actual Upper cervical adjusting -

no twisting needed..

Possibly some of your kinks or misalignments could be from birth or some anomaly..
but I would try a skilled upper cervical a few times and see if anything improves.. don't sign up for a set plan or time frame.
Each case is different. Upper cervical alone - may not be what you need. Some of the practitioners only do upper cervical and nothing else.. I feel that is a mistake by those practitioners.

My chiro used a drop table and leg length checks for the c1 c2, he also did gentle /careful standard adjustments and used other modalities for soft tissue treatment.
I do feel he was one of the highly skilled healer types..multi talented..

I do sleep on my side, you would recommended sleeping on my back? Also, I'm not sure if this is related to my injury or not, but tonight I've been noticing some weird 'lights' buzzing around in my right side periferal vision. Kind of look like when somebody shines their watch face to reflect the sun. Never had that before. When I look, they vanish.

A lot depends on your pillow/mattress combo.
The best pillow is what fits you, and how you sleep.
And a worn out mattress is bad all around..

It's all about how your head gets angled pillow too high, too soft ?
side sleeper - w/ large shoulders or small shoulders?

My mattress is only a couple of years old, and it's a pretty decent one, although my wife hates it. My shoulders are fairly broad, pillow seems and OK height though. Problem is, it's difficult to know what I'm doing when asleep. For all I know I could be doing head stands! Except when I wake up. I always do that.

The point is to be sure your pillow holds your head straight with your spine. If your head hangs to the side, it would be difficult to get any benefit from a chiro or other treatment. I had to learn to sleep on my side.

You did not answer about your continuing symptoms, especially those that could be attributed to your neck. Head aches, maybe a vestibular issue, breathing (apnea) ??

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..
