Patient presents with complaints of neck pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion, consistent with a diagnosis of cervical spondylosis, also known as neck arthritis.  Symptoms include localized cervical pain, radiating pain to the shoulders or arms, neck crepitus, headaches, and limited head movement.  On physical examination, there is palpable tenderness in the cervical spine, decreased cervical flexion, extension, and rotation, and possible muscle spasms in the neck and upper back.  Diagnostic imaging, including X-ray, CT scan, or MRI of the cervical spine, may reveal degenerative changes such as osteophytes, disc narrowing, and facet joint arthritis.  Differential diagnoses considered include cervical radiculopathy, whiplash, and other musculoskeletal disorders.  The patient's pain is rated as [pain scale rating] on a numerical rating scale.  Treatment plan includes conservative management with NSAIDs for pain relief, physical therapy for strengthening and range of motion improvement, and patient education on proper posture and neck exercises.  Follow-up is scheduled to monitor symptom improvement and adjust the treatment plan as needed.  The patient's prognosis for functional improvement with appropriate management is good.  ICD-10 code M47.89 for other spondylosis is considered, with additional codes for specific locations and manifestations if applicable.
