There are many causes of cervical stenosis

Common causes of cervical stenosis include trauma or injury due to a forceful impact, herniated disc, arthritis, bone spurs, scoliosis, or thinning of ligaments that connect the spine. Treatment for cervical stenosis depends on the fluctuation of the symptoms. If the chiropractor diagnoses it early enough, they can prescribe physiotherapy and massage therapy as comfortable treatment options. Physiotherapy helps build strength in the neck and upper back muscles; this muscular strength may help support tense joints or weak bones. Massage therapy can reduce soreness, muscle spasms and inflammation associated with cervical stenosis.

What is cervical stenosis?

Cervical stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck region, caused either by structural irregularities of the spine or by degenerative processes such as aging and osteoarthritis. This condition can lead to compression on the spinal cord and nerve roots, causing pain, numbness, tingling and weakness in the arms, legs and shoulders. Cervical stenosis can also decrease reflexes and movement control. Diagnosis typically involves an MRI scan which can help to detect whether there is any damage to tissue.

What are the symptoms of cervical stenosis?

Symptoms of cervical stenosis are varied and can range from mild discomfort to excruciating pain. A trapped nerve within the spine can lead to tingling, pins-and-needles sensations, or numbness along the arms, shoulders, hands and legs. Muscle weakness and spasms are also common symptoms associated with cervical stenosis. Additionally, those suffering from this condition may experience balance issues due to impaired deep tendon reflexes which can cause difficulty when standing or walking. If left untreated, cervical stenosis can worsen and cause higher levels of discomfort.
