Looks like your problem is too much. I suggest to take mri of cervical spine and check with your ortho about the result. If the condition is not well then he will guide further. Or else can try with physical therapy if there is no much issue in spine.
You can also try with cervical traction to release pressure from nerves. And also use heat pack regularly to have sothing effect on muscles.
Hope this was useful for you. Take care
