Suspension or not?...neck issues...

HI! I have a Bachetta Giro 20 with the mesh seat, and large "trekking" smooth tires. I have noticed that lately when I hit cracks in the pavement, the shock goes right up into my shoulder/neck area, and sorta gives me a bit of a headache. My shoulders are contacting the metal rails of the seat. If I lean out of the seat back it's fine. I have tried changing the seat angle to more vertical, and that helps a bit.Thought about a foam pad behind the shoulders..?
Question: Anybody else figure out a solution or experienced this? Is the the other type of Bachetta seat less prone to that? (The narrow foam covered one)
I really don't want to spring for a Streetmachine or a Grasshopper at this point.. : )

Thanks!
