Is there a preferred way to handle weakness due to tethered spinal cord?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Tethered cord: The best treatment option for tethered cord is surgery to detether or release the tension on the cord. If you have already had surgery then improving weakness is best treated with physical therapy.
