Foraminal encroachment refers to that degeneration in the spinal column which causes the obstruction of the foramina.
C6-7 right paracentral and foraminal disco-osteophytic protrusion refers to a condition where there is a bulging of the disc and bone spurs (osteophytes) at the C6-C7 vertebral level in the cervical spine. The term "paracentral" indicates that the protrusion is located slightly off-center, towards the right side, which may impinge on nearby spinal nerves. This condition can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, radiculopathy, or tingling in the arms if nerve roots are affected. Treatment options may include physical therapy, pain management, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.

Superimposed right subarticular typically refers to an imaging finding, often seen in X-rays or MRIs, where there is an overlay or overlap of anatomical structures in the right subarticular region, which is near a joint surface. This term may indicate the presence of abnormalities such as bone lesions, fractures, or degenerative changes. The specific interpretation would depend on the clinical context and the structures involved. A radiologist or healthcare provider would analyze these findings to provide a diagnosis or further recommendations.
Moderate right foraminal narrowing at C5-6 is narrowing of the canals in the spine. C5-6 stands for cervical number 5 and number 6.
A broad-based 4 or 5 mm right foraminal and extraforaminal disc protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges outward at a width of 4 to 5 millimeters, specifically towards the right side of the spinal canal and the area where spinal nerves exit (foramina). This type of protrusion can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by those nerves. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require conservative treatment or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
