Most resolve with : Time but medication like oral steroids or nsaid's if no contraindications along with meds like Neurontin (gabapentin) may help along with wearing a soft cervical collar reversed when sleeping or reading. Cervical epidural injections are a consideration and if no better after 12 weeks of symptoms, surgery can be considered if symptoms warrant this intervention.

it depends: If you only have pain without any neurological compromise(numbness, weakness), you may be a candidate for cervical epidural steroid injections. If you do have neurologic compromise, urgent surgery may be indicated.
