Hello,

Cervical spondylosis (C4-C6) indicates that these segments of the neck are affected by wear and tear. Such wear and tear causes pain, stiffness, and neurological symptoms. Moderate disc space narrowing at C5-6 and C6-C7 indicates that this segment is experiencing more significant degeneration or damage.

Get connected with a Physical therapist and with your treating doctor. You will be treated with medicines, physical therapy. or with surgical intervention if required like when the nerve compression or spinal cord damage is significant.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K, General & Family Physician
