Can whiplash to the neck cause osteophyte complex and compression of the left C6 nerve?

Yes, I was T-boned (whiplash injury) and developed posterior osteophyte complex as a result. My CAT scan showed no injury after the accident at the hospital but a year later I had a MRI done because of severe neck pain and it showed osteophyte complex.
