The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to musculo-skeletal injury. X ray & MRI of the cervical spine can be done to rule out any pathological cause for the symptoms.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained by heat therapy, application of analgesic & muscle relaxant gel, intake of analgesics like Diclofenac (to be taken after food) + Pantoprazole (to be taken 30 minutes before meals). Supplements of Calcium & Vitamin D can be included in his diet which will help in strengthening of bones. Physiotherapy exercise will also be helpful.
If symptoms still persist, it will be better to consult an Orthopedician for proper clinical examination. Till then, maintain adequate hydration & nutrition status, take proper rest and avoid stress.
Wishing a Good Health. Take care.
