Cervical Myelopathy

Chronic compression of the spinal cord in the neck reducing nerve signal transmission.

Causes & Symptoms

Caused by disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or degeneration.

• Weakness/heaviness in hands and legs.
• Numbness and difficulty walking/balance issues.
• Loss of fine motor skills (e.g., buttoning shirts).

Treatment: Rapid surgical intervention is critical to prevent paralysis or permanent damage. We perform all types of myelopathy surgeries (anterior or posterior).
