Brief Answer:
Your spinal cord has levels of compression.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through the report. It seems that a part of the 5th cervical vertebral body is causing compression of the spinal cord which lies enclosed within the vertebral column. The vertebral column is composed of individual vertebrae with a cushioning in between. This cushion has bulged outward toward the spinal column at C6-7 level. This is causing further compression of the spinal cord. Apart from these findings, no other major findings are present. The exit route of the individual spinal nerves has not been narrowed.
