What It Is: Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves, leading to pain and discomfort. This condition can occur in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions of the spine.

Causes: Causes include aging, arthritis, congenital conditions, previous injuries, and degenerative changes in the spine. Bone spurs, herniated discs, and thickened ligaments can also contribute to spinal stenosis.

Symptoms: Symptoms include pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the lower back and legs. The pain may worsen with standing or walking and improve with sitting or bending forward.

Typical Treatment: Typical treatment options include chiropractic adjustments, physical therapy, pain management techniques, and in severe cases, surgery.
