terms for me PLEASE!
Cervical conclusions:

2. C6-7 minor spondylotic disc displacement. Mild to moderate right foramen stenosis due to facet and unicinate hypertrophy.
3. C7-T1 mild right foramen stenosis due to facet and unicinate hypertrophy.
LUMBAR:
1. Minor spondylosis. L3-4 mild diffuse spondylotic disc displacement and facet hypertrophy with nominal abutment of exiting right L3 nerve root.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TRANSLATE WHAT THIS MEANS?!?!

The other areas can cause symptoms as well, that's when your list of pain/symptoms is needed... so MD, PT or DC can consider if related to the spinal levels indicated..
There are charts like this that may help you for spine/location/areas affected..
