Hello welcome to HCM. Because of the injury there is movement of the back bone and the material between the bones mainly at 4th, 5th and 6th back bones at neck level. Becuse of these forward movement, the canal which is ppresent in the front is compressed. Operation has to be done to relieve the symptoms. Please contact the orthopaedician and get the advice. Take care
