Try griva basti treatment of ayurvedic panchkarma along with basti. Correct posture. Try some yogic asans specily suksma kriya/asans. Take some ayurvedic medicines also. Thats the ultimate solution, otherwise painkillers are temporary.

An awkward sleeping position can cause cervical spondylosis over time and exacerbate the condition once your are diagnosed. Try to sleep on your back without a pillow to encourage the natural curves along the spine to align properly. Also recommend you to sleep on your side with a pillow that is the size of the gap between your shoulder and head to release the strain on the neck. Using too many pillows is not recommended. High-impact exercises such as running should be avoided if you are experiencing neck pain because the shock of impact can worsen your condition. Light, low-impact exercises such as walking, swimming or aqua aerobics help to support the body. Using a routine of neck stretches and yoga exercises will maintain flexibility and range of motion in the neck and cervical spine. Applying heat or ice to your neck can ease sore neck muscles.

Hi you must consult to a good physiotherapist. There could be some nerve getting compressed from the neck which is giving pain in the arm. Muscle like trapezeus may be harbouring trigger points. Physiotherapist will release the trigger point and help you to abolish the pain and teach you some exercises that has to be done by you.
