It is a leading cause of spinal cord injury and can facilitate chronic pain and disability later in life if left untreated. One study estimated that this condition has a prevalence of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdpi.com\/2077-0383\/10\/16\/3626\/htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1,120 per 1 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, catching this issue early and taking action with a skilled specialist by your side can help you improve your quality of life and stop the condition from progressing. When you have dedicated medical care and a full understanding of cervical myelopathy, it can be easier to make the necessary changes to prevent or treat it.

Cervical myelopathy is a form of compression specifically involving the cervical spine, otherwise known as your neck.<\/p>\n<p>You may also hear this condition referred to as cervical spondylotic myelopathy, with \u201cspondylosis\u201d meaning degeneration of the bones and cartilage within the neck. Since this form of the condition deals more with gradual wear and tear on the neck bones rather than acute injury or other causes, it\u2019s often seen more in older adults.<\/p>\n<h2>Causes of Myelopathy<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how this form of myelopathy originates can help you make proactive changes to help avoid this spine condition.

At Desert Institute for Spine Care, we also diagnose patients by performing our technique of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/spine-treatments\/personalized-pain-mapping\/\">Personalized Pain Mapping<\/a> (PPM), which consists of carefully listening to your concerns and doing a thorough examination to create a treatment plan.<\/p>\n<p>Other methods like X-rays and MRIs will also help us get a clear perspective of your spinal issue. The test results will enable us to develop an appropriate treatment strategy for your case, using minimally invasive methods whenever possible.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a> <a class=\"btn btn-secondary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/virtual-second-opinion\/\">Obtain Second Opinion<\/a><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-7 col-sm-9 col-xxs-12 image-text__half image-text__img\">\n                    <div class=\"animated-image js-animated-image\">\n                                                    <div class=\"image-text__img-video\">\n                                <span class=\"js-animated-image-overlay animated-image-overlay\"><\/span>\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-scaled.jpeg\" class=\"object-fit--cover\" alt=\"Dr Yeung shaken female patient hand\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-1536x1024.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-2048x1365.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/MG_2584-1-900x600.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>                            <\/div>                         \n\n                            <div class=\"image-text__img-wrap\">\n                                                            <\/div> \n\n                                            <\/div> <!-- image animation wrapper -->\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"full-width-review-block_b789e3a30b2072f66873fc27938f288c\" class=\"full-width-review js-animated-text-container\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1921\" height=\"457\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/card-bg-crop.png\" class=\"full-width-review__bg object-fit\" alt=\"Doctors Talking with Patients\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/card-bg-crop.png 1921w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/card-bg-crop-300x71.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/card-bg-crop-1024x244.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/card-bg-crop-768x183.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/card-bg-crop-1536x365.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1921px) 100vw, 1921px\" \/>    \n        <div class=\"full-width-review__wrap\">\n            <div class=\"container\">\n                <div class=\"full-width-review__column text-center\">\n                    <div class=\"full-width-review__top-content\">\n                                                    <h4> See What Our Patients Are Saying!<\/h4>\n                                                                            <p class=\"hidden-xs-down\"><i class=\"icon-swoosh\"><\/i> Don\u2019t just take our word for it.
