“C5-C6 Bilateral foraminal Stenosis, moderate on left and severe on right with compression of the exciting right C6 nerve root.
C6-C7 – …with severe bilateral foraminal stenosis resulting in compression of the exciting C7 nerve roots”.

If you have radicular symptoms in the C6 or C7 roots and your report states “Severe foraminal stenosis”, that is an indication for surgical treatment.
