Spinal Cord Compression

Spinal cord compression occurs when something puts pressure on the spinal cord, which can happen due to various spine diseases, such as herniated discs, tumors, or spinal stenosis. This pressure can lead to symptoms like pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty moving, as the spinal cord is responsible for sending messages between the brain and the body. If not treated promptly, spinal cord compression can cause serious complications, including permanent damage or loss of function. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to relieve pressure and prevent long-term effects.
