A member asked:
Is still classed as spinal cord compression if the cord is only pressed again anteriorly in flexion - with csf space behind?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Spinal cord : Your specific health concerns are best answered by seeing a doctor in person. Spinal cord compression usually means that there is constant pressure on the cord without regard to position. A displaced disc can temporally apply pressure on the spinal cord and cause symptoms and objective changes like weakness based on the change in position.
