Hello,
The radiological investigations shows that there is abnormality at the level of C5 and C6 vertebrae which lie in the back of neck.
There is narrowing of inter-vertebral space and bony spur formation which is impinging into the neural foramen from where the spinal nerves emanate.
This can lead to compression of spinal nerves and thus symptoms in the region supplied by these nerves.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri
