Bony encroachment at the C5-6 level refers to the formation of bone spurs or osteophytes that can narrow the spinal canal or neural foramen in the cervical spine, often due to degeneration or Arthritis. This narrowing can compress the spinal cord or surrounding nerve roots, potentially leading to symptoms such as neck pain, numbness, weakness, or radiating pain into the arms. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies like MRI or CT scans, and treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or surgery, depending on the severity of symptoms.

Very mild ventral encroachment on the thecal sac refers to a slight narrowing or pressure on the thecal sac, which is the protective membrane surrounding the spinal cord and nerve roots. This condition may be caused by factors such as a bulging disc or bony growths. While "very mild" suggests that the encroachment is minimal, it could potentially lead to symptoms if it progresses or if there are other underlying issues.
