Detailed Answer:
Hi Mr XXXXXXX
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your mother's symptoms and she needs to see a Neurologist to confirm the diagnosis and start the medical treatment.
Shivering of hands and head could be due to a condition called as essential tremors, which can be well treated with medications such as propranolol.
Cervical problem could be related to disc disease, which can be confirmed on MRI scan, and there are good treatments available to treat this condition.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
