[C5-C6: Anterior disc osteophyte complex. Posterior disc protrusion with a left lateral component. Disc material indents without definitely contacting the
anterior aspect of the cervical cord. The central canal is moderately narrowed to 7.5 mm in maximum AP diameter. Tiny posterior annular fissure noted at this level. Mild right-sided neural foraminal narrowing from uncovertebral joint hypertrophy. The left neural foramen is widely patent. Very mild right-sided ligamentum flavum thickening.]

From what I see the main thing is that c 5/c 6above- all else looks OK (patent means normal)

But could be some soft tissue causes or postural that can be treated with good PT. Or expert chiropractic if you are considering that option. Be sure to take the MRI report with you so anyone treating you will be aware of the c spine issue.

Soft tissue causes usually don't show on MRI, so a comprehensive PT evaluation might be worth getting before focusing on any invasive or surgical fixes.
