When the spinal cord is compressed and cells die within the spinal cord, this is called Myelopathy. There are many causes of Myelopathy, and there are many treatments for it!

In this video, I will describe some of the common causes of myelopathy, some test a spine surgeon will use to diagnose it, as well as what are the surgical treatment options!

That said, I do many new patient telemedicine visits a week and would be happy to review xrays, as well as MRIs if they are within the past year. Please reach out to my office staff to arrange a telemedicine visit!
