Where is c5-c6 and c6 and c6-c7 of the spine?
The C6 and C7 vertebrae are the lowest two vertebrae of the cervical (neck) portion of your spine. The C7 can typically be identified by feeling the spinous process (a bony protrudance) of C7 at the base of your neck where it intersects with your back and shoulders. The C6 vertebrae would be directly above it.
What does a buldging c6 and c7 mean?
It means there is a bulging between the 6th and 7th vertebrae in the neck (cervical part of the spine).
What structure passes through this opening in c1-c7?

What is osteoarthritis of the c5 c6 and c7?
It may mean that the cartilage between those particular vertebrae is damaged or gone. causing pain and restriction to the nerves passing through the back bone and or between the vertebrae.
What is mild ventral extradural defect at the L3-L4?
There are ventral extradural impressions noted at c5/c6 and c6/c7 with effacementof ventral aspect of the cervical cord at c5/c6 and c6/c7.

What does it mean when my mri report says signal loss and volume loss in c4-c5 and c6-c7 with reparative endplate enhancement at c7 superior endplate and in the foramen on the left at c6-c7?
Signal loss and volume loss in the c4-c5 and c6-c7 discs on an MRI report typically indicate degenerative changes or disc degeneration. Reparative endplate enhancement at c7 suggests a healing response to injury or inflammation. The presence of these findings may contribute to symptoms such as neck pain, stiffness, or decreased range of motion.

Which is worse a c6 or c7 spinal cord injury?
The spinal cord does not need to be severed in order to be classified as a spinal cord injury. The C stands for cervical which means it is in the neck. The 6 and 7 are the vertebrae down from the skull. The largest vertebrae on your neck is number 7, so that injury is between that one and the one directly above it. I received a spinal cord injury at 6 and 7 in 1999 in a Ford Explorer rollover accident. My 6 and 7 slid out of place about 70%. Because of the damage done to the nerve cells they died. That is what caused the spinal cord injury.
What is a c6 fracture?
The spine is divided in to different regions and then each vertebrae within that segment is numbered. The vertebrae in the neck are called cervical vertebrae and there are 7 of them. Therefore, a fracture of C6 is a fracture in the 6th cervical vertebrae (at the base of the neck).
