This video relating to the cervical spine--Understanding the MRI of Cervical Stenosis with Spinal Cord Injury--is designed for the primary care physician or specialist such as a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist to use to learn how to read and understand the MRI of the cervical spine with a spinal cord compression. The central canal can narrow in many patients and compression of the spinal cord can result. This can lead to a condition of myelopathy (please see section on myelopathy) or can result in a spinal cord injury if the patient has an impact in the front of the head forcing the neck backwards.
For more information on spinal cord injuries and for additional resources relating to spine treatment in Colorado, please contact Dr. Donald Corenman at his Vail, Colorado office at 970-479-5895.
