There is slight straightening of the normal cervical lordosis. The disc spaces at C4/5 and especially C5/6 are narrowed there are spondylotic changes in the neurocentral and facet joints at these levels and small osteophytes encroach on the foramin. Tiny osteophytes indicate very minimal thoracic spondyloasis only. What does this mean and what was the cause for this to happen.
Hi, Thanks for your query. Cervicaland thoracic spondylosis is a common degenerative condition of the cervical spine and most likely caused by age-related changes in the intervertebral disks. I advise you to wear a soft neck collar during the day to help limit neck motion and reduce nerve irritation. You can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  For pain relief and muscle relaxants, particularly if neck muscle spasms occur after discussing with your doctor. Do exercises under guidance of a physical therapist to strengthen neck muscles and stretch the neck and shoulders. I do hope that you have found something helpful, and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
