Is there a difference between osteophyte and osteophyte complex?
Osteophyte is one abnormal growth. Osteophyte complex is numerous bony growths which can affect not only more than one vertebrae (but several), and can be extremely painful when rubbing on the nearby nerves, and also causes narrowing of the neural foramina(?).

Can whiplash to the neck cause osteophyte complex and compression of the left C6 nerve?
Yes, I was T-boned (whiplash injury) and developed posterior osteophyte complex as a result. My CAT scan showed no injury after the accident at the hospital but a year later I had a MRI done because of severe neck pain and it showed osteophyte complex. The extreme force put on the disc during impact (whiplash) triggers your brain to "repair" the injured disk forming osteophytes.
