Cervical stenosis: Surgery is one option so please continue to consult w/MD/DO. I don't know the stats on this, but a chiropractor may be worth a consult also. You can coordinate between MD/DO and Chiro if it looks like a possibility. Peace and good health.

Watch out: See an orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, or rheumatologist. Surgery, lasers, chiropractors, acupuncture are usually failures. Serious damage is often the result of surgery or violent chiropractor "adjustments". Usually conservative measures pay off in time. That said, sometimes surgery is the way to go. A neurologist or other professional will advise you.
