Has your guy seen a neurologist? This would be the best person to assess your guy and help with a treatment plan. I have attached a link below that may also help. In general a lot of medical therapy is centered on pain management/anti inflammatories and avoiding anything around the neck. I hope this helps and thank you for using PetCoach! https://vet.osu.edu/wobbler-syndrome
