Hello,
Thanks for your query.
The MRI report you have given above goes with Cervical Spondylosis.
There are features of narrowing of neural foramina from C5-C6 levels.
Usually the treatment goes in following lines: rest, lifestyle modifications (namely- avoiding pillow while sleeping, following a healthy diet plan, maintaining suitable posture while working on computer/driving, avoiding any activity that strikes neck discomfort), medications (that your physician prescribes) and most important physiotherapy ( in form of neck exercises, cervical traction if required along with local ultrasonics).
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
