Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

The findings of MRI scan are suggestive of degenerative changes in the cervical spine. These are age-related changes seen due to wear and tear. Regular physiotherapy can help in retarding further progression.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
