Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
MRI Reports Shows Curvature Straightening, Mild Narrowing At Neural Foramina, Central Disc Protrusion. Meaning?
Just trying to understand my MRI report! Here is the impression: 1. Straightening of the curvature, which could be positional or secondary to spasm . Broad-based osteophyte-disk complex at c5-6 is seen with mild flattening of the left paracentral ventral aspect f the cord from disk protrusion. Mild narrowing of the opening of the neural exit foramina is noted 2. Mild broad-based central disk protrusion at c3-4 is seen without compromise of the cord or the exiting nerve-roots.
I am a chiropractor and I will put it into plain English for you. You have mild arthritis in your neck. c5-6 is in the lower portion and osteophytes are bone spurs. At least it says mild. The holes between the bones where the nerves come through is being pressed on. C 3-4 is upper middle has mild disc pressure. Did you have a car accidentbor fall? See a gentle chiropractor who can adjust your spine and relax any spasms with ultrasound therapy.
