Why the Name Change? 🤔
Did you know that Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy (CSM) is now called Degenerative Cervical Myelopathy (DCM)? The new name reflects that it’s not just wear-and-tear (spondylosis) but a mix of changes—like disc herniation, bone spurs, and ligament thickening—that can press on the spinal cord. More accurate, easier to understand, and helping more people get the right diagnosis! #dcm #spinalhealth #funfact #myelopathyawareness #myelopathymatters
