Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal in the spinal cord, causing pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs. Treatment may be conservative, with rest, physical therapy, and pain medications, or in severe cases, include surgery to widen the spinal canal.

disc prolapse

Spinal canal stenosis occurs due to narrowings in the spinal canal that can press on the nerves. This can be caused by wear and tear, osteoarthritis or injury.

Treatment for spinal stenosis can be conservative and include physical therapy exercises to strengthen back muscles and improve mobility. In some cases, surgery to relieve pressure on the spinal cord may be necessary. An orthopedist or neurosurgeon can discuss the best course of action.

disc prolapse

Spinal stenosis, in which the spinal canal is narrowed and puts pressure on the spinal cord, was studied in more detail in the 19th century. During this time, medical professionals began to classify the symptoms and causes of this disease. Modern diagnostic procedures such as MRI have further improved the identification and evaluation of spinal canal stenosis. Treatment options vary from conservative approaches such as physical therapy to surgical procedures to decompress the spinal canal.
