Meaning Of The X Ray Results?
mild degerative changes of the cervical spine with anterior osteophyte formation and decreased disc space as well as bilateral facet changes causing neural foraminal narrowing most prominate at C6-7 level. The above is what my xrays read. Does this qualify for social security disability?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
The bones of the neck (cervical spine) are constituted by 7 small bones and these show degenerative changes in your case. The degeneration is maximum at level C 6 and C 7 with narrowing of passages through which nerves pass through on either side. The disc space is also decreased at this level. You may get benefit from physiotherapy.
