The report describes degenerative changes associated with age, affecting the discs between your neck vertebrae.
The key point here is the symptoms these changes cause. The risk is that these discs may exert compression upon the nerves or the spinal cord.
If you don't suffer weakness or severe pain, there's nothing significant to worry about, and treatment will be only by anti-inflammatory and analgesics.
