Three parts of your spine have been observed; cervical, thoracic, and lumbar.

You have bulging disks in most of the parts of your cervical spine (your neck).

You have noticeable disk degeneration closer to the bottom of your thoracic spine (the chest area of your back).

You have disk herniations in your lumbar spine (some disks in your lower have 'popped' and got released).
