Medical Conditions - Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal spaces. This exerts pressure on the nerves and vessels that pass through the spinal column. The common sites are the neck and the lower back and may be due to overgrowth of bone, wear and tear diseases, thickened ligaments, and spinal injury. It can be asymptomatic or may present as pain, tingling sensation, numbness, and muscle weakness. Treatment includes hot and cold packs, pain medications, decompression procedures, and simple physical therapies like riding a bicycle, water therapy, and gym workouts.
