Case description

This video is designed for the primary care physician or specialist such as a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist to use in understanding an MRI of the normal cervical spine. The image shown in the video is one is a normal scan of the spine—that is, all of the structures scanned are normal in appearance and not injured or degenerative. When a specialist is able to recognize what a normal scan looks like, it is much easier to determine what an abnormal finding is. 


This video is designed to give you a basic understanding of the anatomy of the cervical spine and then to identify the basic changes that occur with degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, nerve root compression and spinal stenosis with spinal cord compression.

Presented by Dr. Donald Corenman.
