So...

The main question, when I hear a story like that, that goes through my head is, "Is this a structual bony problem, or is this a muscular or ligamentous problem?" The fact that you used to get relief from a cervical spine adjustment suggests to me that there is at the very least, a bony component to your problem, if it is not, in fact, the main problem.

If bone is your main problem, then all the strengthening in the world is not going to solve very much. So, before you go leaping into a strengthening program, I would suggest you have your neck thoroughly examined--whether that involves a chiropractor or physician is up to you. But if it was me, I would be ordering at least a set of X-rays, and possibly a CT or MRI, depending on the X-ray and what kinds of findings you have on a physical examination.
