DIAGNOSIS
The condition is diagnosed with a history an physical examination and corroborated with medicalimaging of the cervical spine including an MRI scan.
NON-OPERATIVE TREATMENT
Non operative treatment includes , pain-killers, physical therapy and local anaesthetic and corticosteroid
injections.
The natural history of cervical myelopathy is for patients to suffer from a steady deterioration in function, thus operative therapy is usually recommended. Preoperative patients are seen by physicians as well as anaesthesist so as to mitigate the surgical risks.
OPERATIVE PROCEDURE
This involves a small incision, typically one and a half inches, in the front of the neck. There is a dissection between muscle and tissue planes to approach the cervical spine. The diseased disc segment is excised under microscopic guidance and replaced with an inert impant to facilitate fusion of the diseased
segment.
