Hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of your husband.

As he had a previous laminectomy, after which he was all okay, and the recent incident have increased the pain in the neck region, i will advice to undergo an MRI of cervical spine, since due to the past history, there will be some thing to see inside the spine. As when he has undergone the surgery is unknown in the history it is better to get an MRI done and see any possible slipping of the disc in the canal. As due to the slipping of the disc in the canal there will be symptoms like severe pain and needs an attention.

Till the time you undergo an MRI using a neck brace is advised to allow the minimal mobility of the spine.
