It sounds like you need to do some research to find that neck specialist who can help you and help you learn how to take care of your neck.
Think of imaging as a 'surgical plan,' not a therapy plan. Gentle traction and mobilizing with serious discipline to sleep in good posture is critical. You should expect to spend 6 months or more being disciplined with your sleep posture.
It took me two years to get my neck stable after a year of not properly treating my injury.

Thanks for the advice Mark. Do you think an anti depressant or anti anxiety medication would help my body feel the way it was before I hit my head? Is it possible medication could impede my recovery, rather than help it? Do a lot of people who have a concussion feel as if there body isn't right? It's really the best way I can describe it. Cognitively things seem normal, but the feeling in my body is not. It's like this shakiness feeling, not actual shaking, but just this weird not right feeling. It's pretty awful.
