Cervical Spinal Stenosis treatment in Huixquilucan

Cervical spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the space within the spine at the level of the neck, through which the spinal cord and nerves pass. This narrowing can compress those structures.

Common symptoms: pain or stiffness in the neck, tingling or weakness in the arms or hands, and, in some cases, difficulty with coordination or balance. The symptoms usually progress gradually.

Common causes: it is often related to degenerative changes in the spine associated with aging, although it can also be due to a naturally narrow structure from birth.

Which specialist treats it? The evaluation of this condition is handled by the neurosurgeon, who assesses the degree of nerve compression. When weakness or coordination problems appear, the most sensible thing is not to postpone evaluation.
