XRays will not be very helpful, instead go for MRI spine screening.
Next Steps
But before going for scan:
You should totally abstain from any neck bending activities.
No pillow should be used.
Mobile phone should be used in hands-free mode only or via Bluetooth headphones.
Airconditioner, if at all used, should be operated at more than 25 degrees.
Macgesia oil for local application.
Health Tips
If above measures fail than go for scan.
