This pain is most likely cervical disc syndrome i.e. CDS. An X-ray of cervical spine will determine the part of spine effected. Most likely reduction in intervertebral disc gaps is causing compression on nerve. Reasons may be many. OR simple osteophytes pressurizing the nerve. Medicine and procedures are similar with any cause except few additional medicines for degeneration.

Ayurveda medicines given with collar support, physiotherapy etc and decoction of some herbs are very useful and non toxic in such conditions.

May consult any Ayurveda physician with above reports for proper comments or consult me through direct question on HCM

Hope it helps.
