is typically caused by changes in the spinal bones or discs in the neck area that compress or squeeze the spinal cord. This can be due to a variety of factors, including:

• Degenerative changes in the spinal bones or discs, such as arthritis or wear and tear
• Trauma or injury to the neck, such as a car accident or fall
• Spinal stenosis, or a narrowing of the spinal canal
• Tumors or other growths in the neck that press on the spinal cord
• Herniated discs, or discs that bulge out of place and press on the spinal cord
• Congenital conditions, such as a narrow spinal canal or abnormalities in the spinal bones

It is important to speak with a doctor if you are experiencing any symptoms of cervical myelopathy, so that a proper diagnosis can be made and appropriate treatment can be provided.
