It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue. I had a MRI diagnosis that said dorsal protrusion of C5-6 disc, effacing the ventral arachnoid space and indenting the cord + bilateral foraminal narrowing leading to compression of exiting root. This is probably a more medical description of dessication or maybe one of the case. But I was advised "surgery" wherein they will remove the herniated disc and replace it with a bone. This bone will be held in place with a titanium plate. The bone will fuse with vertebrae over a period of 1 month and form one bone mass. It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue.

c-spine means cervical spine, and cervical means neck.
No.The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.
Seven. The first vertebra being the Atlas and the second being the Axis.
The cervical spine is made up of seven cervical vertebrae. These are numbered(C1-C7) and are the smallest of the true vertebrae. The third through sixth cervical vertebrae have characteristics in common. The first, second, and seventh are considered special cervical vertebrae, and have different characteristics.
Cervical
The human cervical spine is made up of seven vertebrae. In fact, nearly all mammals have seven cervical vertebrae, even giraffes.
No, a cervical lordosis is the normal curve of your cervical spine (neck).
Every doctor is different in how they treat/do surgery on the spine. There is no way to know what the normal process is for cervical spine surgery. You can research this online.
The cervical region of the spine contains 7 vertebrae. The best motion in this are is rotation. C1 (the atlas) and C2 (the axis) are specialized bones of rotation.
spine
can also occur in the cervical spine. The incidence of cervical disk herniation is most common between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. The second most common area for cervical disk herniation occurs between
The spine is composed of seven unfused vertebrae in the neck region known as the cervical spine.
