LOWER BACK CONDITIONS – SPINAL STENOSIS

Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramen that results in pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. Symptoms may include pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs especially with activity. Many of our patients with this condition report symptoms that develop with walking are reduced when bending forward or pushing a shopping cart. There are many potential causes of stenosis that we are equipped to recognize and in many cases improvement is possible within a few visits.
