That usually is indicative of a cervical disk pressing on a nerve, usually at the C6/7 disk if you're feeling it in your fingers. It depends on the severity of the problem; if it's a full herniation with little chance of recovery, then a fusion at those vertebrae is the most common procedure. If it's mild enough, they'll try a facet injection with steroids to try and reduce the disk inflammation enough to reduce pressure on the nerve.
Either way, anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and pain meds, along with no heavy lifting and keeping your neck from being strained will be included in the treatment.
