The back top of my head feels like it's piercing/flashing pain why? can postural problems cause this from the spinal cord?

Neck: There are a variety of upper cervical spine disorders that can result in similar pain. Which one you have or don't have would require a good exam. If the problem is bothersome then have it checked out.
