Summary | Physiotherapy for spinal canal stenosis in the cervical spine

Summary

Cervical spinal canal stenosis is a serious clinical picture. In case of strong compression, decompression surgery (if possible minimally invasive) should be performed to protect the sensitive nerve tissue from irreversible damage. The symptoms of spinal stenosis can range from simple numbness or paralysis in the upper extremity to paraplegia-like symptoms. The therapy is carried out surgically or, if possible, conservatively by means of posture-correcting physiotherapeutic treatment.
