The cervical myelopathy treatment in Ipoh
Cervical myelopathy is a form of myelopathy that involves compression of
the spinal cord in the cervical spine (neck). Your cervical spine contains
seven vertebrae (C1 to C7), with six intervertebral discs and eight nerve roots.
The spinal cord travels inside the vertebral column constructed from the front
by vertebrae, cushioned by the intervertebral discs, and from the back by the
facet joints and lamina. In the cervical spine, eight nerve roots branch out that
primarily control the function of your shoulders, arms and hands.
Symptoms of Cervical Myelopathy
Cervical myelopathy produces two types of symptoms: the ones you may feel
in the neck, and the ones appearing elsewhere in the body at or below the
compressed area of the spinal cord.
The neck symptoms may include:
-
Neck pain
-
Stiffness
-
Reduced range of motion
As the disease progresses, one may experience shooting pain that originates
in the neck and travels down the spine.
Other cervical myelopathy symptoms may include:
-
Weakness in the arms and hands
-
Numbness or tingling in the arms and hands
-
Clumsiness and poor coordination of the hands
-
Difficulty handling small objects, like pens or coins
