Spinal Stenosis and Myelopathy

Our world-renowned spine surgeons provide comprehensive care for spinal stenosis and myelopathy.

Expert Care for Spinal Stenosis and Myelopathy

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces in your spine narrow due to age-related wear and tear or an injury. This can lead to an increase in pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Over time, spinal stenosis can cause severe compression of the spinal cord, also called myelopathy.

Our spine care team treats spinal stenosis symptoms, such as:

Back and neck pain
Muscle weakness
Numbness or tingling in your arms and legs

If your symptoms do not improve, our experienced spine team offers a wide range of surgical options, from less invasive treatment to cutting-edge robotic technology.
