Can whiplash to the neck cause osteophyte complex and compression of the left C6 nerve?
Yes, I was T-boned (whiplash injury) and developed posterior osteophyte complex as a result.

The extreme force put on the disc during impact (whiplash) triggers your brain to "repair" the injured disk forming osteophytes.
