What is Cervical Stenosis?
Cervical stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal in the neck becomes narrowed, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. This narrowing can result from bone spurs, disc herniation, or ligament thickening. Cervical stenosis can lead to pain, stiffness, and nerve-related symptoms like tingling and weakness.

What causes Cervical Stenosis?
Cervical stenosis is most often caused by age-related changes in the spine, such as the development of bone spurs or disc degeneration. Other causes include congenital spinal narrowing, trauma, or inflammatory conditions. Activities that place excessive strain on the neck can exacerbate the condition.
What are the symptoms of Cervical Stenosis?
Common symptoms of cervical stenosis include neck pain, stiffness, and radiating pain down the arms. You may also experience numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms and hands. In severe cases, balance issues, difficulty walking, or loss of coordination may occur.
What is the best treatment for Cervical Stenosis?
The best treatment for cervical stenosis involves a personalized plan of care focused on relieving nerve pressure and improving spinal mobility. This may include manual therapy, postural correction exercises, and strengthening programs. In advanced cases, surgical intervention may be recommended. If you can’t come in for an evaluation or you want to get started immediately, we've created an injury recovery guide designed for athletes and active adults to help you make good decisions around your care.
