What Does This MRI Of Cervical Spine Indicate?

I was in a car accident in September. I recently was sent for an MRI of the cervical spine w/out contrast.

This is what the report said, but my chiropractor wants me to see my MD because he really didnt understand it enough to explain it to me, I am flipping out of my mind..



This is what it said.

"There is an approximately 5 mm downward herniation of the cerebellar tonsil in themidline with breaking of the cerebellar tonsil. This is within normal limits, however, the breaking of the cerebellar tonsil is slightly worrisome. The best visualized in sagital t1-weighted imaging sequence."



I have to wait til tomorrow to get answers and I just cant wait...Im worried
