What Causes Cervical Stenosis?

This condition, (neck pain usually in older patients), rarely stems from a single event. Instead, it develops over years of gradual change. Common contributing factors include:

3. Genetic predisposition
4. Postural strain
5. Trauma

A physiotherapist can help treat Cervical Nerve Entrapment. Read the full article by physiotherapist, Kath Fennemore, to find out the symptoms.

What to expect at a Physiotherapy Appointment?
Initial evaluation includes a subjective assessment of pain, functional impact, medical history, and lifestyle factors such as work and sports activities (Childs et al., 2008).
