Hi ,
First of all I would like to know whether you are symptomatic due to this.
If you are having pain in C6C7 dermatome ,
You need surgery for this as canal diameter is very narrow.
Treatment options without surgery are -
Tab pregabalin
Oral steroids
Epidural steroids
Neck exercises
Other pain modalities
