Myelopathy

by Brian Hwang, MD | 4 years ago

Myelopathy is potentially a serious condition that involves an injury to the spinal cord.

Myelopathy does not always cause pain and therefore, symptoms can go unnoticed for a long time. Myelopathy often needs surgery to take pressure off the spinal cord.
