Cervical spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal in the neck narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This condition often develops gradually with age, causing symptoms that can significantly impact daily life.
Common symptoms include neck pain, numbness or tingling in the arms and hands, problems with balance and coordination, and in severe cases, difficulty walking. Many patients also experience weakness in their arms or legs and decreased fine motor skills.
While some patients find relief through conservative treatments like physical therapy and medication, others may require surgical intervention when symptoms become severe or persistent. Modern endoscopic spine surgery offers a minimally invasive solution for cervical stenosis. These advanced techniques use small incisions and specialized instruments to decompress the spinal cord and nerves while preserving the spine’s natural stability.
The benefits of endoscopic treatment include reduced tissue damage, faster recovery times, and excellent outcomes in symptom relief. Most patients can return home the same day as their procedure and experience significant improvement in their quality of life.
