MYELOPATHY TREATMENT

Myelopathy treatment is focused on relieving pressure on the spinal cord and improving nerve function. Treatment may include:

– Physical therapy to improve strength, flexibility, and balance
– bracing or surgery to stabilize the spine
– medications to reduce inflammation and pain
– rehabilitation therapies such as speech, occupational, and physical therapy

IMPROVE STRENGTH, FLEXIBILITY & BALANCE

Myelopathy treatment can help improve strength, flexibility, and balance in a number of ways. First, the treatments can help improve blood flow and nerve function in the affected area, which can help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Additionally, physical rehabilitation can help improve strength and flexibility in the muscles around the spine, and can help improve balance and coordination. In some cases, targeted exercises may also be recommended to help stimulate nerve function and improve myelopathy symptoms.

HELP WITH BRACING OR SURGERY TO STABILIZE THE SPINE

There are a few main ways that Myelopathy treatment can help bracing or surgery to stabilize the spine. First, Myelopathy treatment can help to improve the patient’s overall condition and health, which can make it easier for them to tolerate surgery or bracing. Second, Myelopathy treatment can help to reduce inflammation and swelling around the spinal cord, which can improve the stability of the spine. Finally, Myelopathy treatment can help to improve the patient’s neurologic function, which can help them to better tolerate bracing or surgery.

MEDICATIONS TO REDUCE INFLAMMATION AND PAIN

Myelopathy medications can help to reduce inflammation and pain by blocking certain enzymes that contribute to inflammation. Additionally, these medications can help to improve blood flow to the affected area, which can also help to reduce inflammation and pain.

REHABILITATION THERAPIES

There are a variety of rehabilitation therapies available for myelopathy, all of which can help improve function and quality of life. These therapies can help improve strength, mobility, and communication skills, as well as help patients learn how to manage their condition.
