Hello
X-ray findings suggests mild degenerative disease of cervical spine.
At C5-6 level,there is reduced inter vertebral disc height.
There are also osteoarthritic changes in cervical spine,it may be age related.
Rest of the findings are normal.Vertebral height and bone density appears normal.
Prevertebral soft tissue and posterior elements are within normal limits.
Since you have mild findings,you may only need conservative therapy.
Get well soon.
Take Care
