A member asked:
What does this mean? there is a small broad-based herniation of disc material eccentric to the right with a maximum ap extent of about 3 mm impinging upon the exiting right c6 root as it enters the right foramen. do you think i would need surgery?

Hi, the Radiologist’s interpretation is used to communicate the results in a terminology that the referring doc understands. The bottomline is: right C6 foraminal narrowing according to your radiologist. Now importantly that must be correlated w/ ur clinical symptoms. In regards to treatment, surgery is just 1 of many good options. Usu anti inflammatories, PT, and spinal injections before surgery
