Myelopathy.org

Myelopathy.org is a non profit organisation for patients, carers and professionals dealing with Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM), recently renamed Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM).  This is a collection of disease processes, including disc herniation, osteophyte formation and ligament hypertrophy or ossification, which lead to spinal stenosis and compression of the the cervical spinal cord.

Symptoms often start with mild pain, loss of dexterity and subtle gait disturbances but typically progress, with tetraplegia a potential extreme. DCM is estimated to be the most common cause of spinal cord dysfunction worldwide.  It is often misdiagnosed as 'old age'. Much needs to done to raise awareness. So help us, join the journey
