    Brian K. Flanagan, MD, discusses the importance of ensuring there is enough space in the cervical canal. Patients with herniated discs, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease all have narrow cervical spaces which decreases safety margins. Dr. Flanagan also discusses a patient story of cord compression after injecting into the cervical space. He highlights the importance of taking x-ray images to determine the canal diameter before performing any procedures.
