Default Help with interpatation please

I received the mri report of the c-spine and would very much appreciate some help as I can not read it. I believe it is actually good news but want some advice on a certain note on C5\C6, C6\C7. Report as follows.

Technique 1.5 tesla MRI used to generate T1, T2 gradient-echo, proton density, and stir sequences.

Findings
Visualized cerebellum fossa structures are within normal limits. Incidental note made of tornwaldt cyst in the nasopharyns, of doubtful clinical significance.

C2\C3 Unremarkable
C3\C4 Unremarkable
C4\C5 Unremarkable
C5\C6 Shallow osteophytic ridge with superimposed left-sided uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. This results in minimal spinal canal narrowing. C6 neural formina are patent.
C6\C7 Posterior disc space narrowing. No disc henriation, canal stensois, or foramina stenosis.
C7\T1 Un remarkable

Paraspinal soft tissue within normal limits
Spinal cord is normal and signal.
No narrow edema. No ligamentous injury.

Also had Orthopedic therapist with following findings for mid and lower back.

Palpatation with CPAs to T8-T10 and L3-L5, worst pain at L5, no pain at B SI joints; increased muscle turgor in thoracic paraspinals on R.

Slump; positive on R
SLR positive on R
FABER positive on R Repeated flexion; pheripheralization down to R buttock
Repeated extenxion; no change
Mechanical Dysfunction
Lower thoracic stacked ERSR
L3-L5 ERSL
Hypomobile thoracic spine

I apologize for the long post but I was struck on my neck just below my skull and the back pain is awful, not to mention the PCS.
