Lower Back Myelopathy: Understanding Spinal Cord Compression

Lower back myelopathy related to spinal cord compression involves muscle weakness resulting from pressure on the spinal cord or associated nerves. This condition can cause chronic lower back pain, fatigue, and difficulty with motor coordination in the legs.

It’s essential to identify the underlying cause, whether it’s a herniated disc, tumor, or spinal stenosis. Imaging tests such as MRI can guide diagnosis and treatment. Management may include medications, physical therapy, or surgery, depending on severity. Protecting the lumbar spine through early intervention can prevent irreversible damage.
