Cervical spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal in your neck, often due to age-related wear and tear. This can gently press on your spinal cord or nerves, leading to symptoms like neck pain, arm numbness, weakness, or balance issues. Initial treatment often involves physical therapy, medication, or lifestyle adjustments like good posture.
