Spinal stenosis: The most common cause of cervical myelopathy is spinal cord compression from arthritis (disk herniations, bone spurs, osteophytes). This is called cervical spondylitic myelopathy.

Please repost: Where did you come across this term "degenerative myelopathy"? The term refers to a disease of dogs, not people. Please clarify what you are asking about.
