Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you should consult orthopedic doctor who has specialization in cervical spine surgeries.
You need surgical release of narrowing (C1-C2).
Physiotherapy, cervical collar and muscle relaxant drugs are also important along with surgical correction.
So consult orthopedic doctor and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
