Cervical myelopathy is a condition characterized by compression or damage to the spinal cord in the neck region. It can result from conditions like cervical spinal stenosis, herniated discs, or degenerative changes in the spine. Symptoms of cervical myelopathy can include neck pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness, and difficulty walking or coordinating movements. Treatment for cervical myelopathy typically involves a combination of medication, physical therapy, and in some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord. Early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent further progression and improve overall quality of life.
