What this refers to is a degenerative disk problem at the middle cervical region of your spine.
The cervical spine is your neck, from the skull to the base of the neck. The mid-region disks are typically the C5,6 & 7 disks/vertebrae, and they're also the ones most commonly affected by disease.
"Discovertebral Complex" is just a fancy term for saying you've got degeneration in that area. What it's being caused by can be any number of things - hereditary disease, Arthritis, stenosis, facet problems, etc.
