What is the prognosis of cervical spinal stenosis? The tightness can pinch the spinal cord or the nerves around it, causing pain, tingling, or numbness in your legs, arms, or torso. There’s no cure, but there are a variety of nonsurgical treatments and exercises to keep the pain at bay. Most people with spinal stenosis live normal lives.

Definition. Cervical stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal is too small for the spinal cord and nerve roots. This can cause damage to the spinal cord, a condition called myelopathy, or pinch nerves as they exit the spinal canal (radiculopathy).
There is no distinction made in ICD-10-CM for central canal stenosis vs foraminal stenosis. Therefore, the M48. 0- code covers both/all types of spinal stenosis.
Lumbar stenosis typically involves peripheral nerves and their nerve roots, such as your sciatic nerve, which can lead to back pain and problems in the legs. On the other hand, cervical stenosis may directly affect your spinal cord. This condition is called myelopathy and carries far more serious consequences.
ICD-10 code: M54. 12 Radiculopathy Cervical region.
M47.812ICD-10 code M47. 812 for Spondylosis without myelopathy or radiculopathy, cervical region is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Dorsopathies .
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the back and/or neck's nerve passageways, called neural foramen (or, neuroforamen) and/or the spinal canal. When this happens, nerve structures and/or the spinal cord can become compressed (eg, pinched nerve), which causes inflammation, irritation and pain.
Most treatment plans for cervical stenosis begin with conservative (nonsurgical) treatment options like:over-the-counter or prescription pain medication to help reduce your symptoms.physical therapy to relieve inflammation and strain while restoring range of motion in your neck.More items...
