Impressions:
1: Prominent right-sided and right neural
foraminal osteophyte complex at c6-c7 that
signifcantly encroaches on the right
neural foramen.
2: A right uncinate spur mildly
encroaching on the right neural foramen at
c5-c6, and a small right-sided osteophytic
bar or osteophyte disk complex at c5-c6.
Terrible pain in my neck and numbness and
swelling in my right hand and index
finger. Would like to know if exercise or
adjusting would help? Thanks

Hello Curemyneck,
Welcome to this forum and the people who
post here and try to help others.
Curemyneck, in my opinion only your doctor
should answer your question. Those of us
with back pain are not trained medical
professionals, and thus are not qualified
to answer your question.
Do speak with your doctor and get his/her
thoughts.

Hello curemyneck, you have some small bony
growths around the two bottom vertebral
joints in your neck, they are encroaching
on your neural foramen, which are grooves
that your nerves coarse out of, that are
at the side, and toward the rear of your
vertebra. See if you can find a picture of
a spine with the features on the vertebra
labelled.
As far as exercise or adjusting goes ask a
good qualified medical practitioner.
