Neck pain: This is an MRI report of the cervical spine. This report describes arthritis in the neck. The most common affected levels for bulging/herniated discs are between the cervical 4-5-6-7 levels. There is moderate narrowing of the canal but not significant impingement of the exiting nerves. See a neurosurgeon for correlation of the MRI study with your neck and arm complaints.

Age Appropriate: These are age appropriate degenerative findings on MRI. Does not indicate any treatment is needed. We don't treat MRI, we treat the patient. So if you are having symptoms, you spine specialist will examine you, and review your images, and reach a diagnosis of what is actually causing your symptoms, and then direct treatment to those pathologies. Goodluck.
