Center for Cervical Myelopathy
An initiative of the Wisconsin Institute of NeuroScience
The Center for Cervical Myelopathy was founded in 2022 to address the growing need for specialized care related to Cervical Myelopathy. Cervical Myelopathy results from compression of the spinal cord in the neck. Patients with cervical myelopathy experience problems with fine motors skills, pain and stiffness in the neck and/or arms, loss of balance, and trouble walking. DCM is the most common cause of Spinal Cord Injury, affecting approximately 2% of adults globally; however, public awareness is limited. The Center for Cervical Myelopathy aims to fill that void by providing patients, physicians, and scientists with resources to advance understanding and treatment of this condition.
Our Research
Research is integral to developing a proper understanding of disease processes and next-generation treatment strategies. At the Center for Cervical Myelopathy, we're fortunate to have a full spectrum of world-class investigators committed to basic science, translational and clinical investigations into cervical myelopathy.
Patient Care
The Center for Cervical Myelopathy is committed to delivering multi-disciplinary patient-centered, evidence-informed and value-based care for patients with cervical myelopathy.
