Hi Dear,
Welcome to Health Care Magic Team.
Understanding your concern about health.
As per your query you met with motor vehicle accident and started having neck pain. Your doctor must have recommended you for MRI of neck. As per your report you have degenerative changes of cervical vertebrae which constitute cervival spine. You have disc space narrowing means overlapping of vertebrae is there and the space between two cervical vertebrae gets narrowed down.
From your report the probable diagnosis could be Degenerative joint disease, cervical radiculopathy or cervical strain/sprain commonly known as cervicalgia.
I would suggest you to visit your physicisn once and start the treatment as per diagnosis. Most effective treatment will be you have to take physical therapy , therapeutic excercises, manipulations on a daily basis for some time till the time your symotoms will resolve. Hot and cold treatment is also an effective method. You have to take care of your posture. If any nerve involvement will be there physicisn will start treatment as per day.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get well soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
