Complete Cervical Stenosis Exercises and Stretch Plan For Pain Management and Postural Correction

In todays video we talk about Cervical Stenosis and what we can do to improve some of the common associated symptoms of the condition.

The neck is made up of seven bones called vertebrae. In between these vertebrae there are shock absorbing discs. The spinal cord runs through these vertebrae. Between each vertebra, the spinal cord branches off into smaller nerves. These are called nerve roots and provide a nerve supply the head, neck, shoulders and arms.

Cervical stenosis is a condition caused by the natural aging of the spine. As we get older our discs become thinner and sometimes the edges of our vertebrae become rough. This wear and tear in the neck can lead to a narrowing in the canals that the spinal cord or the smaller nerve branches (or nerve roots) pass through. Physiotherapy is an effective way of minimising the symptoms of cervical stenosis.

If the stenosis (or narrowing) is compressing the nerve root you will often experience pain and pins and needles in one of your arms.

Other symptoms include:
- reduced range of movement
- swelling/inflamation
- stiffness
- weakness
- numbness
- spasms

In some cases, the symptoms that you are experiencing will not settle with conservative treatment, such as physiotherapy, alone. There are a number of surgical techniques that can be used to treat cervical stenosis. Surgery is performed to widen the canals that the spinal cord or the smaller nerve roots pass through. This relieves the compression on the nerve. All surgical procedures, however, contain a certain amount of risk. In most cases, surgery will not be performed unless conservative management, such as physiotherapy, has been explored fully.
