How to treat spinal stenosis and cervical cystic membrane compression

Spinal stenosis with cervical capsular compression is treated with both non-surgical and surgical therapies. Non-surgical treatments are generally used in the early stages of the disease or as adjunctive therapies before and after surgery. Surgery can be performed for patients who meet the indications for surgery. 1. Non-surgical treatment: The treatment mainly focuses on protecting the neck, supplemented by physiotherapy and general symptomatic treatment. Patients should pay attention to rest and avoid sitting or standing for a long time. Traction therapy is suitable for patients with cervical disc herniation and vertebral joint instability. It is worth noting that patients should never perform tui na. Usually, patients should pay attention to the position of the neck, and should not hyperextend or flex the neck for a long time. 2. Surgical treatment: Surgical treatment can be performed for those who have a sagittal diameter of the spinal canal <1cm with clinical symptoms, and those who have a sagittal diameter of the spinal canal of 1-1.2cm and whose non-surgical treatments have been ineffective for a long time. Surgical procedures include partial laminectomy and laminoplasty, total laminectomy of the cervical spine, and extended laminectomy and decompression. For patients diagnosed with spinal stenosis with cystic membrane compression, they should go to the relevant departments of regular hospitals as soon as possible and be treated under the guidance of specialized physicians, so as to avoid delaying the condition and leading to adverse consequences.
