Not sure about that, G'man. Both my podiatrist and an earlier incarnation of my physio told me that cycling is important for correcting the imbalance running causes in the quads, which leads to, or exacerbates knee injuries. One of the primary quads which running strengthens has a slight lateral pull on the patella, whereas cycling favours other quads which counteracts that lateral pull.
Something like that, anyhow. You can read a bit more about all those muscles
here.
Have you seen a specialist of some kind about your neck? It might be something obvious like one leg longer than the other or a hip displacement?
OK I'm off to do some stretching...
