Cervical Myelopathy

Cervical myelopathy is a condition that occurs when the spinal cord in the neck is compressed, often due to degenerative changes in the spine, such as herniated discs or arthritis. This pressure can lead to symptoms like neck pain, numbness, weakness, and difficulty with coordination or balance. People may experience a tingling sensation in their arms or hands, and it can affect their ability to walk. Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent further complications, and options may include physical therapy, medications, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.
