Understanding Cervical Stenosis
Cervical stenosis occurs when the spaces within the neck portion of the spine become narrowed, placing pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves. This narrowing often happens gradually due to age-related changes, arthritis, or disc degeneration.
Common Symptoms May Include:
• Neck pain or stiffness
• Numbness or tingling in the arms or hands
• Weakness in the upper extremities
• Balance or coordination difficulties in more advanced cases
• Burning or radiating pain down the arms
How Conservative Care Can Help:
• Chiropractic care to improve joint mobility and reduce stress on the spine
• Postural training to lessen pressure on the cervical spine
• Strengthening and stability exercises to support proper alignment
• Manual therapy to decrease muscle tension and improve movement
• Therapeutic modalities such as traction to relieve nerve pressure
