I had cervical myelopathy stenosis, requiring a laminectomy and laminoplasty, unfortunately im regressing 4 years later and looking at a wheelchair for mobility. Ill know more monday 24th june 2024
Your introduction could really scare people. You should differentiate between foraminal stenosis, and central canal stenosis, when talking about quadropalegia.
Looks like the best procedure I’ve seen for cervical stenosis!! I also have lumbar stenosis & a scoliosis.

I’m hoping I’m not the only one thinking that this sounds ridiculous. Let’s leave the problem. Take away the pain which is great but doesn’t fix the problem that is going to become a bigger problem down the road you would think we would have the technology to fix the problem that’s causing the pain. I am in the same boat as most people with back pain and dealing with it for years and just wish they would be a better fix to it. That would be available to most people that don’t have a fat bankroll.
Hurts like hell, My head feels like something is sitting on it ! 😢

I was told from the trauma . I’m in severe pain . I was recommended to have fusion I don’t want to do a fusion . Would you recommend a laminectomy?

I have severe cervical stenosis primarily on the left, at multiple levels, I also have M.S., due to the diagnosis of M.S I have had a neurosurgeon tell me that I would be too difficult to operate on and assess. I have a great deal of pain, worsened with most movements of my left arm, accompanied by weakness on the left side, also worsened with movement of my neck.

For the past three months, I've had neck pain radiating down both of my arms into my wrists and fingers. It all started after I was dealing with heavy boxes full of Christmas decorations and antiques. I also get occasional chest and shoulder pains. X-ray showed mild disc narrowing in c4-c5 and c4-c6. I think I may have permanently wrecked my spine.

@DrJeffreyCantor I deeply appreciate it. Still awaiting my blood work results. Already had two X-rays, chiropractor visits, and a course of standard treatment protocols that didn't help.
This was very informative thank you for making this. I wanted to clarify one thing you said, you said people with severe issues are more often than not benefit more from surgery than something like PT? I was recently just diagnosed with severe right foraminal stenosis in my C6 C7 and i have tingling in my right pointer finger, right arm pain and discomfort around the base of my neck. I go for steroids injections Monday and then into PT. Hopefully I didnt misquote you. I am just looking for some additional level of comfort, direction and color. Appreciate ya!

Man that sounds like what I have. Two years of hell. Find it hard to lift my head and turn to the right. Steroid injections helped with the pain but not with mobility. Two years..my life is ruined....Any ideas?
Will the MRI show how many mm? I have had an MRI and no one has told me.

Best explanation I have heard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for watching!
Too bad the poor photography detracted from the important information. A common thing...
This is the best explanation of progressive cervical spine disease I’ve seen. I’m scheduled for cervical disc replacement next week, and now I understand the “stepped” myelopathy symptoms that I’ve experienced for years that get written off as aging/anxiety. I’m a graphic artist and have experienced bouts of not being able to control my dominant hand. It’s not until significant pain enters the equation that things take on a sharper focus. Don’t know whether I’ll get control of my hand back at this point, but it is helpful to know it’s not all in my head, so to speak. Thanks for the deep dive, Doc!
wow, I am blown away ! What an advancement! Thank you so much for putting this video out there, Dr. Cantor, so we are more educated about what is possible today! Far less invasive and more hope for improvement with better mobility!
This procedure seems to be a more sensible approach. The idea of removing an anatomical part of the body that has a purpose for it's design, and then to try to think that the person can live without that part of his anatomy; is stupid in my opinion. Yes, I believe that proper nutrition can assist bones and eventually cause the body's enzymes to "eat away" a portion of the spur, or osteophyte. But I believe that takes a long time. I'm considering this option if my non-surgical decompression treatments don't completely alleviate my pain. I have several herniations or bulges of disc with I believe some spurs growing off my vertebral bodies that are also irritating the nerve roots to my leg. Need to revisit my MRI's with a spine surgeon or neurologist and see if the ultrasonic drill would be the solution. Thanks for posting this well illustrated 3D video!

Another Canadian here I had surgery by Dr. Cantor first week of May. Severe L4 L5 dessication with S1 compression. Procedure just like he demonstrates in his lumbar videos. I feel great no regrets and I have all my parts. 64 yrs. young.
Thanks, very helpful/informative video.
In what circumstances will ultrasonic surgery not be appropriate?

Thanks Doctor Cantor .
I've had to live with pain for yrs that has worsened. Not one care giver has suggested this, then a MRI revealed stenosis. Now I'm old and wondering if I could even have surgery, but suffering is horrible.

Hey VA gfu
I am scheduled for back surgery I have found there are 10 ways to Sunday what precedures doctors perform. To me this makes more sense opposed to insercerting expansive hardware. Thank you Dr Canter.
I’ve seen two ortho specialists and I’ve learned more watching this video than in my conversations with my doctors. Thank you for your lecture and visuals on this.

Absolutely same. My pain specialist and ortho spent about 5 min each going over explanations that just left me confused.
