Question : can receptive motion cause a posterior disc osteophyte complex. what is small cystic area in the left occipital bone
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
A receptive motion is not likely to cause an osteophytic change in your spine. Such changes are usually age related degenerative changes.
A small cystic area in the occipital bone can be an aneurysmal or a benign bone cyst.

Wishing you good health.
