Spinal Stenosis Pain Management Specialists
Fed up with daily discomfort from spinal stenosis? At Nura, we understand the frustration this condition can have on your life.
Stenosis involves any narrowing of the spinal canal or nerve root canals in the cervical, thoracic, or lumbar regions of the spine. It can be caused by various factors — including aging, degenerative changes in the spine, herniated discs, thickened ligaments or abnormal bone growth.
Watch the video below to learn more about spinal stenosis — including common symptoms and treatments.
Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
With spinal stenosis, the narrowing of the spinal canal puts pressure on nerves, triggering painful symptoms like:
- Persistent back pain, especially in the lower back or neck
- Tingling or numbness in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Weakness in the muscles of the arms or legs
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
- Pain that radiates into the arms or legs
- Discomfort that worsens with activity and improves with rest
- Changes in bladder or bowel function in severe cases
Diagnosis of Spinal Stenosis
Individuals aged 50 and above face a higher risk of developing — and requiring specialist treatment for — spinal stenosis. Typically, this condition arises from the natural aging process, which often leads to spine degeneration. However, it’s important to note that not everyone experiencing spinal degeneration will necessarily experience pain. If spinal stenosis develops in someone younger, the cause is usually a genetic disease that affects muscle and bone development.
Diagnosing spinal stenosis is challenging because its signs and symptoms closely mimic those of age-related conditions. Imaging tests like X-rays, MRIs, and CT myelograms may be necessary to pinpoint the underlying cause.
