It can be: Cervical stenosis means that the space around your spinal cord in your neck is very tight. Other complications may include chiari type 1, syrinx, radiculopathy, central cord syndrome from ischemia. You need a good neurologist to analyse your problem and address these different possibilities.

Possible: It depends on the degree of symptoms and findings on your exam and how it correlates with your imaging studies and what your job duties entail as well as what treatment and your response to that treatment.
