C5-6: disc space collapse and desiccation; grade 1 retrolisthesis with anterior endplate osteophytes; posterior disc bulge and endplate osteophyte complex are seen, asymmetric toward the left of midline, accentuating developmental canal narrowing with some ventral surface cervical cord deformity; moderate crowding of the neural foramina by uncinate spondylosis
C6-7: partial disc space collapse and desiccation;slight retrolisthesis and endplate spondylosis without cord or nerve compromise
(Just posting this in case anyone out there understands this and has experience with (a) therapy that could help and/or (b) exercises that are contraindicated.)
