Cervical Spinal Canal Stenosis

Cervical Spinal Canal Stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal in the neck (cervical spine) becomes narrowed, putting pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. This narrowing often results from degenerative changes, herniated discs, or arthritis, and can significantly affect mobility, balance, and overall quality of life.

Common Symptoms

• ✔ Neck pain and stiffness
• ✔ Tingling, numbness, or weakness in arms, hands, or shoulders
• ✔ Loss of grip strength or difficulty with fine motor skills
• ✔ Pain radiating from the neck into the arms
• ✔ Difficulty maintaining balance while walking
• ✔ Headaches related to neck strain
• ✔ In severe cases, loss of bladder or bowel control

Causes

• ✔ Age-related degeneration of spinal discs
• ✔ Herniated or bulging discs in the cervical spine
• ✔ Thickening of ligaments (ligamentum flavum hypertrophy)
• ✔ Osteoarthritis and bone spurs pressing on nerves
• ✔ Past injuries or trauma to the neck
• ✔ Congenital (born with) narrow spinal canal

Diagnosis

To confirm Cervical Spinal Canal Stenosis, doctors begin with a detailed history and physical exam, followed by imaging tests:

• X-rays – show bone changes and alignment issues
• MRI scans – visualize spinal cord and nerve compression
• CT scans – provide detailed 3D imaging of bones and discs
• Electromyography (EMG) – measures nerve and muscle function
