What nonsurgical treatments do healthcare providers use for central cord syndrome?

Healthcare providers use a variety of nonsurgical treatments to treat central cord syndrome:

• Immobilization: Healthcare providers may give you a rigid collar to wear that keeps your neck from moving. They may also use splints to help keep your hands in the correct position.
• Medications: Healthcare providers may prescribe medicines to relieve pain and reduce inflammation, like steroids.
• Occupational therapy: Specialists help you develop strategies for living with central cord syndrome, including exercises, adaptive devices and modifications to daily activities.
• Physical therapy: Specialists teach you exercises that build strength and flexibility, and offer assistive devices.
