Spinal Stenosis

Stenosis of the Cervical Spine: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment

Many patients do not take the time to find out more about their conditions. This is the leading cause for degradation in their condition and resultant hospitalization or surgery. Surgical treatment of cervical spinal stenosis is usually used as a last resort. However, many of these surgical procedures could have been avoided if the patients had taken the time to learn more about their conditions.

‘Stenosis of the Cervical Spine: Causes, Diagnosis and Treatment' is a volume written with surgeons in mind. However, this volume offers invaluable information for patients. The author opens with a brief introduction to the cervical spine, its anatomy and biomechanics. The reader is provided with clear illustrations to enhance their understanding of the cervical spine. The author then goes on to describe various conditions that may cause cervical spinal stenosis. You will get detailed descriptions of conditions that may result in stenosis as well as illustrations of some of these conditions. Treatment and management of your condition depends heavily on the cause of the condition in the first place. Understanding the root cause of your condition will also ensure that you take the necessary precautions to avoid a relapse following treatment. It is therefore crucial for you to have a clear understanding of the cause of your condition.

There are detailed illustrated descriptions of surgical techniques for the treatment and management of cervical stenosis. These descriptions also include the risks and complications that may result from the specific techniques. This will provide you with a clear picture of what you are getting yourself into before you make any commitment.
