What Causes Cervical Spinal Stenosis?

Cervical spinal stenosis can be a debilitating condition. It can cause pain, numbness, and tingling in the arms and hands. In some cases, it can even lead to disability. If you are suffering from cervical spinal stenosis, you may be wondering if it can be cured. The good news is that in many cases, cervical spinal stenosis can be treated and cured without drugs and surgery. In this blog post, we will discuss what cervical spinal stenosis is, the symptoms of the condition, and how it can be treated. 

What is Cervical Stenosis?

The word stenosis literally means…narrowing of an opening. Cervical stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal canal or the left and right openings in the spinal column narrows. This can happen when the mechanical alignment of the spinal vertebra is altered due to trauma. When a spinal bone shifts out of place, it can put pressure on the spinal cord and peripheral nerves. This is known as nerve impingement. This can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms and hands. If neglected, it can also lead to disability.

Symptoms of Cervical Stenosis

The symptoms of cervical stenosis can vary depending on how severe the mechanical misalignment is. In mild cases, people may only experience occasional pain or discomfort. However, in more severe cases, the symptoms can be much more debilitating. People may experience constant pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in their arms and hands. In some cases, they may even lose the ability to use their hands.

How is Cervical Stenosis Treated?

Since cervical stenosis is a mechanical problem, it must be treated in a mechanical manner. Because cervical stenosis is commonly treated with drugs, injections, physical therapy, and surgery…the outcomes are often ineffective.

The correct way to resolve cervical stenosis is to understand the fact that it is most commonly due to a misalignment. The treatment involves moving the vertebra into its correct position, which returns the openings on the spinal column to their normal openings. This is not achieved, however, by “twisting” the cervical spine.

Reversing Cervical Spinal Stenosis Naturally

Cervical spinal stenosis is most commonly from mechanical misalignment and therefore, many sufferers find significant pain relief and sometimes even complete remission of symptoms by working with a biomechanical spine doctor trained in spinal biomechanics. 

Focusing on decompressing the affected nerves, as well as managing their weight and improving their posture. Surgery should be the last option for some people with severe cases of cervical stenosis who do not find relief from other treatments.
