Hello,

As the thecal sac compression is not a major thing to worry if noticed on an MRI. Because we always have to correlate the MRI results with the clinical symptoms. Usually, this thecal sac compression happens due to the weakness of the muscles of the spinal column leading to changes in the normal alignment of the spinal column. This inturn leads to thecal sac compression.

Having cervical collar if it's the neck region and lumbar brace if it's the lumbar region, it will provide stability to the spinal column involved. Exercise to improve the stability and strength will be advised to current the alignment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
