"If you suspect that you have a neck injury, you should see a medical professional to determine the nature and severity of the injury. For a stiff neck or shoulders, you should try to rest and gently massage the area. Also, always use an ice pack to your injury, do not apply heat."

If you agree to carrying him or even move him at all you will risk causing permanent neck or back injury. This would include paralyzing him.
