The x-ray is suggestive of wear and tear. It reflects that your father is in a profession where he has to look down for longer periods of the day and for many years together.
Vertigo can be due to continued looking down which stretches the nerves on back of neck

collar, reduce the neck flexion while doing daily activities, ROM exercises
