Understanding Cervical Myelopathy: Causes and Treatments

What is Craniotomy | Dr. Rah
Cervical myelopathy is a condition caused by compression of the spinal cord in the neck region. This can lead to symptoms such as neck pain, weakness, numbness in the arms and hands, and difficulty walking.

Key Points:

  • Causes: Often due to degenerative changes in the spine, herniated discs, or spinal stenosis.
  • Symptoms: Neck pain, arm weakness, tingling, and balance issues.
  • Treatment: Includes medications, physical therapy, and potentially surgical interventions to relieve pressure on the spinal cord.
