What are the region of the spine?

The spine (also called backbone or vertebral column) starts at the top of your neck, just under the scull, and goes all the way down to your tail-bone.  There are 5 regions of the spine: cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal.  However the 3 most commonly discussed regions are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar regions.  The cervical region is in the neck.  The thoracic region is in the upper to mid back.  The lumbar region is in the low back.  The sacral region is in the back of your pelvis, between your buttocks.  Finally, the coccygeal region is your "tail-bone."

What does mild posterior ostcophytic ridging at C4-5 mean?

It means that you are beginning to have early arthritic changes in your cervical spine (or neck). There are 7 cervical vertebrae, so this is in the middle of your neck. Osteophytes are basically bone spurs, or a buildup of hardened bone material on the edges of vertebra that occurs when you are losing cartilage and the bones are rubbing against each other.
