Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My symptoms point to Cervical Spinal Stenosis. I am 57 and my symptoms have recently become worse. I have been physically active recently more than usual. The symptoms are interrupting my sleep now and I would like to go to a doctor. What type of a doctor should I see for this condition?
Hello and welcome to `Ask A Doctor` service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advise.
* The management of cervical stenosis depends upon the type of symptoms as Pain and movement restrictions will be handled from orthopedic consultant and chiropractor specialist. If there are nerve compression symptoms as tingling, numbness upper limbs or else ; expert Neuro physician is best to judge.
* I recommend to consult your family doctor and get relevant reference for further work up.
Wish you fine recovery.
Feel free to post further doubts. Thank you.
