Wheelchair to Walking – Cervical Myelopathy

Cervical myelopathy is a term used to describe the compression of your cervical spinal cord, the long band of tissue that carries signals from your brain to the rest of your body. Depending on the cause, the compression can cause sudden or gradually worsening pain, sensory problems, loss of balance, or paralysis.

Watch the journey of a patient, suffering from cervical myelopathy, who had come to MGM Healthcare on a wheelchair in the hope of right treatment.
