Hello,
In my opinion, you should get to be seen by a good physiotherapist as you will need a long-term professional physiotherapy and rehabilitation plan to overcome these manifestations and avoid further damage to your neck and back.
Please consider doing a full spine x-ray as you may be having scoliosis to the left side causing the narrowing of the foramina and disc spaces compression. Ultrasound, interferential, heating, massage, osteopathy, and exercises are helpful to you. Avoid traction as it will aggravate your problems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ayman Darrag
