Myelopathy Treatment
Myelopathy refers to a progressive condition caused by compression of the spinal cord, often resulting in pain, weakness, numbness, and difficulty with balance or coordination. Common causes include spinal stenosis, herniated discs, degenerative changes, trauma, or tumors. Without timely treatment, myelopathy can lead to permanent neurological damage.
For severe cases, surgical intervention is often necessary to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and prevent further deterioration. Dr. Sangram Rajale, specializes in advanced surgical solutions for myelopathy. Using minimally invasive techniques, he aims to decompress the spinal cord, stabilize the spine, and restore normal function. Each treatment plan is tailored to the patient’s specific condition, ensuring the best possible outcomes. With Dr. Rajale’s expertise and commitment to comprehensive care, patients can achieve lasting relief and improved quality of life.
Causes of Myelopathy
Congenital Disorders : Birth defects like a narrow spinal canal or abnormal curvature can predispose individuals to spinal cord compression.
Autoimmune Disorders : Diseases such as multiple sclerosis can lead to spinal cord inflammation and symptoms of myelopathy.
Infections : Conditions like tuberculosis or abscesses affecting the spine can cause inflammation and compression of the spinal cord.
Tumors : Benign or malignant growths in or around the spinal cord can exert pressure, leading to myelopathy.
Trauma or Injury : Accidents, falls, or sports injuries can directly damage the spinal cord or cause instability in the spine.
Spinal Stenosis : Narrowing of the spinal canal, often due to aging or degenerative changes, is a leading cause of myelopathy.
