It can result from degenerative changes like cervical spondylosis, herniated discs, or trauma that compress the spinal cord.
Diagnosis involves a physical examination, neurological assessment, and imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans to evaluate spinal cord compression.
Surgery is recommended when conservative treatments fail to relieve symptoms or when there is significant spinal cord compression that threatens neurological function.
Recovery includes physical therapy and a gradual return to normal activities, with most patients experiencing significant improvement in symptoms and quality of life over several weeks to months. Dr. Rangnekar provides personalized guidance throughout the recovery process.
