Hi,
A simple arthritis of neck can be relieved by giving rest to the joint (you can war a cervical collage for time being/ a hot pack/ Over-the-counter pain medicine like Ibuprofen /Application of skin ointment like relaxed).
Plain X-ray of the part world be helpful in exclusive/condition basic vaise of the pain (joint inflammation /sprain/cervical sonal or discussion problem). This world help for specific management of cause.
The condition of orthopedic doctor is advised in case of no relief with home care.
