Common questions about spinal stenosis
What is spinal stenosis, and what causes it?
Spinal stenosis occurs when spaces within the spine narrow, potentially placing pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. Common causes include age-related degeneration, arthritis, herniated discs, and thickened spinal ligaments.
What are the best treatments for spinal stenosis?
Treatment depends on the severity and location of the narrowing. Options may include physical therapy, medications, epidural steroid injections, and, in more severe cases, surgery to relieve nerve compression.
Can spinal stenosis be treated without surgery?
Yes. Many patients manage spinal stenosis symptoms through non-surgical treatments such as physical therapy, medications, activity modifications, and selected pain management procedures.
What are the most common symptoms of spinal stenosis?
Common symptoms include back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and pain that travels into the arms or legs. Lumbar spinal stenosis may cause leg discomfort when standing or walking that improves with sitting or bending forward.
