Question
I have had headaches everyday for years. I have had sinus surgery and still my headaches are everyday. I just had a MRI done this month and have the results. I was referred to a neurosurgeon and go on July 19. I would like you to give me some advice on my results, here they are:
mild scoliotic curvature of the cervical-thoracic column on the frontal projection. There is reverse of the normal cervical lordosis lateral projection. There is narrowing of the C4-5,5-6,6-7 disc. The marrow signal pattern is normal. There is a minimal bulge in the posterior longitudinal ligament and hypertrophy at C3-4 producing some mild canal stenosis.The spinal canal is narrowed to 10mm. At C4-5 there is a broad based hard disc bulge which is producing left greater than right bony neuroforaminal stenosis and spinal stenosis. The spinal canal is narrowed to 9 mm and the cervical cord is contoured. There is also a broad based hard disc bulge at C6-7 producing relative spinal stenosis,narrowing the spinal canal to about 9mm AP. There is bilateral bony neuroforminal stenosis left greater than right. There is a minor bulge of the C6-7 disc. The cord has normal signal and caliber throughout.

Answer
Hi, Shelia,

All those disc bulges and changes of spinal curvature point to one thing:  muscular contractions.

Did your practitioners check for that?

There are three major categories of headache.  I describe them in my article on headaches at somatics.com/page4b.htm

It will answer a lot of questions, including what to do.
