The bones that make up the neck are called cervical vertebrae. Normal wear and tear lead to disc deterioration as we get older. This is aggravated by changes in the disc's blood vessels. Cervical stenosis, also known as cervical foraminal stenosis, results when this occurs.

Some of the symptoms include the following: Weakness in particular arm muscles, arm numbness and/or tingling, as well as chronic neck pain. If you're experiencing symptoms, call Neurosurgeons of New Jersey to schedule an appointment at, 551-284-3265. neurosurgeonsofnewjersey.com/cervical-foram…

What Is the Difference Between Cervical Laminoplasty and Cervical Laminectomy? The lamina is part of the spinal vertebrae that forms the bony roof of the spinal canal. This is the passageway via which your spinal cord and nerves travel.

The spine degenerates with age, resulting in a herniated disc or bone spurs that restrict the spinal canal, causing spinal stenosis. This causes pain, numbness, or weakness by putting pressure on the spinal cord and spinal nerve roots.

Spinal stenosis and other conditions can make life difficult, but you can have relief. If you are experiencing symptoms of spinal stenosis, you should get advice from a spine expert who is experienced with all surgical alternatives.

As we get older, our body accumulates wear and tear, which then leads to breaking down of spongy tissues, known as discs. These discs can eventually bulge or lead to bone spurs around the joints of the spine. Cervical spondylosis is the medical term for this condition.

Compression of the spinal cord and nerve roots that travel through your spinal canal is also a possibility, which is known as cervical myelopathy. Cervical spondylosis without myelopathy has multiple treatment options available.
