What is Myelopathy?

Myelopathy is the loss of nerve function due to various spinal disorders. This can be caused by sudden spinal injury or degenerative disease that comes naturally with aging. Myelopathy results in loss of sensation, movement, and even paralysis. Myelopathy is a very serious issue that affects the entire spinal cord, and needs to be taken care of immediately to prevent further spinal disorders.

Symptoms of Myelopathy

Only a qualified spine doctor can determine if you have myelopathy. There are some common symptoms and characteristics you can look for to determine if you’re suffering from this condition. These include:

• Stiff neck
• Arm pain
• Numbness in the hands
• Weakness in the arms and legs
• Difficulty walking
• Poor balance
• Poor coordination

Myelopathy Treatment

Doctor Saqib Siddiqui closely examines patients to discover the structural problems that cause myelopathy. The Spine Center uses minimally invasive techniques to relieve the pressure on the spinal nerves and to give you a better chance for recovery.

Because our procedures are less invasive than traditional back treatment, many of our patients enjoy:

• Faster recovery time
• Reduced pain
• Reduced scarring
• Decreased need for post-operation pain medication
