What is a Small disc protrusion C5-6 vertebrae with mild compression deformity of dural sac?
If you have no symptoms it's just a slightly squashed intervertebral disk, if you do have symptoms it's were they're going to cut. (C5-C6 is low on your neck)
Mild evidence of osteophytic lipping is noted at C5 and C6 levels no evidence of cervical spondylosis or cervical ribs?
This is talking about some bone buildup between the c5 an c6 vertebrae. this can lead to pressure being exerted on nerves passing between them. this can lead to weakness in the hands and arms or pain.
Where in human body is c5 levelc6c7?
C5 is the 5th cervical vertebra, C6 and C7 are below C5. They are found in the neck.
What is the brachial plexus?
The Brachial Plexus is the nerve plexus from which supplies the upper limb. Its root supply is C5 to T1. This means that the nerves which make it up leave the spinal chord at all the vertebrae between the 5th Cervical Vertebrae and the 1st Thoracic Vertebrae. Brachial plexus is a radical regrouping of the nerve fibers that are araising from the vental rami of C7 to C8 and additionally from T1. Through this network of nerves the entire upper limb will get its nerve supply.
What is congenital blocked c4 c5 vertebrae?
Congenital blocked c4 c5 vertebrae is the two cervical (or neck) vertebrae (C4 and C5) fused together, existing at birth, underdeveloped, and which, on x-rays, give the appearance of a more or less solid bony mass.
Where is C5-6 located?
The C5-6 vertebrae are located in the cervical (neck) region of the spine. Specifically, they are positioned between the C5 and C6 vertebrae, forming part of the cervical spine that supports the neck and head.
What is anterior osteophytosis at C5 and C6?
C5 and C6 are cervical vertebrae found in the neck. Anterior osteophytes of C5 and C6 are bone spurs that have formed on the front portion of vertebrae 5 and 6 in your neck. This can be a very painful condition.

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 a Small disc protrusion C5-6 vertebrae with mild compression deformity of dural sac?

What vertebre controls the arms?
Vertebrae are bones in the spine that contain the spinal cord and allow for spinal nerves to exit. ? Being bones, vertebrae do not control the arms.The spinal nerve roots ?that come out of the vertebrae do however control many aspects of function, including: muscle movement, sensation, blood vessel tone, and your hair standing on end.The spinal levels that control the arms are C5-T1. ?There may be a little T2 in there for sensation, and there may be a little C4 in there for shoulder muscles; but the answer is generally accepted to be C5-T1.
Which vertebrae did Charles krauthammer break?

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 is osteophtic encroachment of the left neural exit foramina which may compromise the exiting left c5 nerve?
There is a narrowing in the space that the nerve that comes out of that particular vertebrae in your neck. From the sounds of it you are blessed with a bone growth (osteopyte) in the area of the joint where the nerve comes from the spinal chord through the joint of the c5 vertebrae. this makes the space that the nerve passes through narrowed which puts pressure on it. I think you will have pain and burning sensation starting in the neck down the shoulder and arm. It all depends on how bad it is.
What does it mean when MRI findings state there is disc space narrowing and bulging of the disc at C5 6?
The fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae and the discs that separate and cushion them are a fairly common location for degeneration due to injury or age. If you are in pain the surgeon can fuse the vertebrae together, but that should be a last resort.
