Cervical spondylotic myelopathy (CSM) or cervical myelopathy is a condition characterized by compression of the spinal cord in the neck due to degenerative changes in the cervical spine. These changes often involve the gradual wear and tear of the vertebral discs, leading to the formation of bone spurs and thickening of ligaments. As the spinal cord becomes compressed, it can result in a range of symptoms, including neck pain, stiffness, weakness, numbness, and problems with coordination. Cervical myelopathy is commonly associated with aging, and its symptoms may progress slowly over time. Diagnosis involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies such as MRI or CT scans. Treatment options vary and may include conservative measures such as physical therapy and pain management, while more severe cases may require surgical interventions to alleviate pressure on the spinal cord. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing cervical myelopathy and preventing further neurological deterioration. Individuals experiencing symptoms should consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and guidance.
