How To Strengthen Cervical Vetebrae?

Is their an option to have a cage put into or around c2-c6, to restore strength and endurance. I am 44, horse accident caused fusion and now Spondylosis and Cevicalgia withpoor discs as well. I m going ok on a pacing of daily activities and medicine. Healing may be better if it s possible, while younger. ? I m going to talk to my Dr sometime soon. Others that have broken back, do cages. So ? Thank you for any ideas.

Hi,

I have gone through your medical history carefully and am sorry for the accident and post-consequences you got.

The very first thing in such cases is to evaluate current damages in the vertebral spine and chest cage and how do they impact the spinal cord and other vital organs nearby.

Depending on the findings, it will be decide the best treatment option.

It is true that the younger the patient is, the greater the chances to recovery and come back to normal activities. However, the type of damage also matters.

Please do follow with orthopedist and neurologist for further evaluations.

All the best!
