Spinal stenosis is a slow and progressive narrowing of the space where the spinal cord is located. Often this begins without any symptoms and therefore people often don’t even know that its occurring, unless symptoms begin or an x-ray is taken.

Any injury to the spine can significantly impact the rest of the body parts. Spinal injuries primarily affect the neck, causing chronic neck pain and even paralysis in the worst cases. The exact impact of the injury depends on various factors, such as which area of the spine is injured. The part of the spine in the neck region is called the cervical spine. It is composed of 7 vertebrae, from C1 to C7. The C7 is located at the bottom of the neck, followed by C5 and C6 in the lower neck.

The C5-C6 spinal motion segment provides flexibility and support to the neck. This motion segment may be a source of pain due to degenerative changes, trauma, and poor posture.

Having a healthy spine is essential if you want to age gracefully and maintain mobility throughout your golden years.
