Expert Physiotherapy Care for Lasting Relief
What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spaces within the spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It most commonly affects the lower back (lumbar stenosis) and neck (cervical stenosis), leading to pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking.
This condition typically results from age-related changes in the spine, but can also develop due to injury, arthritis, or structural abnormalities.
Common Causes of Spinal Stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Osteoarthritis or bone spurs
Thickened ligaments or joint swelling
Herniated or bulging discs
Spinal trauma or post-surgical changes
Congenital spinal canal narrowing
Common Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms depend on the area of the spine affected:
Cervical (Neck) Stenosis
Neck pain or stiffness
Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the arms or hands
Difficulty with coordination or balance
Lumbar (Lower Back) Stenosis
