Welcome to health care magic.
1.The report suggest there are multiple features suggest degenerative disc disease and spine findings.
2.Multiple osteophytes are signs of degenerative spine with bony out growths.
3.Disc shows loss of hydration and reduced disc heights - when disc looses its water content.
4.These findings are seen in a age related patient or a hard working weight bearing individuals. There is no canal narrowing or nerve compression which will eliminate the operative procedure.
5.Treatment in this case is exercises, rest, avoid weight bearing - if no relief physiotherapy is indicated.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
