Hi
Cervical traction, physiotherapy, .medicines(muscle relaxant + b12 and calcium, and cervical collar will help. Surgery is the last option because
it has many complications alongside unless unavoidable.

The surgery is going to be a major surgery. Many doctors suggest cervical traction Bt the results r nt always the same for all the patients. Best is to consult a neurosurgeon nd follow up with him always.
