Pain in the Back and Legs Caused by Cervical Spinal Cord Compression

BigBrain Insights:

The most important points from this abstract are:

It shows that leg symptoms can come from the neck, referred to as the cervical spine.
The spinal column is a synchrous functioning unit, meaning you cannot move or use one part of the spine without affecting the other part. For example, we (at KCA) found that many patients who were in car accidents need to treat their entire spine to recover from their symptoms, whether the pain is in their leg, neck or back.
Many patients have cervical spine compression misdiagnosed and are wrongly given a poor prognosis.
If you’ve been given a misleading diagnosis, please come in for a courtesy evaluation which might qualify you for a full spine (neck /mid/ low back) neurospinal stress evaluation.
