Have you looked at the person's posture? The flexion pattern that Parkinson's patients tend to adopt can lead to strain on the soft tissue structures of the neck causing local and distant pain.

They often develop a kyphosis, (flexion) of the thoracic spine and lower cervical, with compensatory hyperlordosis (extension) of the upper C spine in order to achieve functional head position.

Thoracic extension and neck retraction exercises are generally where I'd advise you to start. If he truly has nerve root impingement then these will help too.

Check out Robin McKenzies neck retraction exercises as found in his book "Treat your own neck".
