You have to undergo a detailed examination and a bunch of X-Ray and CT scan of the spine. Based on these reports the further treatment would be decided. The treatment may include medical painkillers, cervical collar, physiotherapy, and or surgical treatment..

Hi.. The pain could be due to one of the nerve roots getting compressed in the cervical spine.
