Arthritis and Stenosis

Arthritis & Stenosis

With age, the wear and tear of the neck joints and muscles will lead to bony changes in joints and vertebrae/bones of the neck.

Cervical spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the cervical spinal canal. This narrowing leads to compression of the spinal cord affecting its function. Symptoms associated include cervical radiculopathy or cervical myelopathy.

People with osteoarthritis in the neck can experience chronic pain, stiffness, and limited range of motion, pain may worsen in the morning or after prolonged sitting.

Physiotherapy Management

Physiotherapists assess ROM i.e., mobility strength & posture. We determine the best plan of treatment to restore natural movement and eliminate pain.
