Question
Hello,
The results of my MRI of the cervical spine were as follows:
reversal of the normal cervical lordosis; mild disc protrusion at C-3-C-4 and C-5-C-6 levels with central canal or neural foraminal stenosis;at the C-6-C-7 level there is a left paracentral disc extrusion wiht mild left foraminal narrowing. There is an effacement of the thecal sac.
My doctor states that it is arthritis. What kind is it and what is the best non-surgical treatment option? Thank you!1


Answer
I am a advocate of non-surgical spinal decompression.
I have been using it in my NYC practice everyday for the past 7 years.
I have seen similar MRI findings but  a physical exam and history would be necessary to determine if you would be a candidate for non-surgical spinal decompression.
I have seen amazing results when all other methods have failed including surgical interventions.
