Spinal Stenosis Pain Management Specialists
Spinal Stenosis
Condition Overview
Fed up with daily discomfort from spinal stenosis? At Nura, we understand the frustrating impact 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’s caused by various factors — including aging, degenerative changes in the spine, herniated discs, thickened ligaments or abnormal bone growth. Whatever the cause, the pain specialists at Nura Clinics can help you find the quickest path toward relief.

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 are at higher risk of requiring specialist treatment for spinal stenosis. However, not everyone with spinal degeneration experiences pain. Younger individuals may develop spinal stenosis due to genetic conditions affecting muscle and bone development.
Diagnosing spinal stenosis can be challenging as symptoms mimic those of age-related conditions. Doctors may use imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs and CT myelograms to pinpoint the cause.
Our pain specialists will collaborate closely with you to identify the cause of your spinal stenosis and determine the best path toward relief.
