What is Stenosis?

Stenosis is “narrowing” of an opening. This occurs naturally as we age and we commonly see this take place in the spine. The narrowing of the openings in the spine can put pressure on the spinal cord or the nerves exiting the spine. This is most commonly seen in the low back and neck.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

  • Low back pain or neck pain
  • Unable to walk long distances
  • Having to lean over to get relief
  • Numbness or tingling into your legs or arms

Can you treat Spinal Stenosis?

Yes! We can address all the structures around the spine to allow for more movement and create more space. This will allow you to be able to complete more activities without pain or symptoms. We will also work on strengthening the core and muscles around the hip to take pressure off of the low back.
