Description

Spine myelopathy is a neurological condition resulting from spinal cord compression, leading to symptoms like numbness, weakness, difficulty with balance, and coordination issues. It can affect the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine and can be caused by degenerative changes, disc herniations, trauma, or other spinal conditions. Diagnosis typically involves MRI scans, and treatment may include physical therapy for mild cases or decompression surgery for severe or progressive symptoms to prevent permanent neurological damage.
