What Is a Myelopathy?
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Management
It may be possible to recover completely from myelopathy depending on the underlying cause. For example, a course of antibiotics may be successful at resolving an underlying infection. Most patients report considerable improvement from laminoplasty or spinal fusion.
Depending on the extent of the damage, it may not be possible to resolve the symptoms of myelopathy entirely. However, it may be possible to manage symptoms with medications, hot and cold treatment, exercise, and lifestyle changes.
