Spinal Cord Injury

Canal Stenosis (Lumbar / Cervical)

Spinal stenosis is a condition that causes a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal nerves, resulting in pain. When this condition occurs in the lower back it is referred to as lumbar stenosis.

  • Those who do not know how to pursue
  • Pleasure rationally encounter
  • Consequences that are extremely painful.
  • Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues

Symptoms

Bring to the table win-A narrowing of the spinal canal typically doesn’t cause symptoms unless it progresses to a point where it compresses the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or the cauda equina, which is a dense bundle of nerve roots that begins where the spinal cord ends in the upper lumbar region. When compression happens, intermittent or chronic pain, numbness, or weakness may arise in the low back, buttocks, and legs. Symptoms are usually mild or absent while sitting or sleeping. While walking, symptoms generally increase and a cramping sensation with a tired or heavy feeling in the low back, buttocks, or upper thighs may occur.survival strategies to ensure proactive domination. At the end of the day, going forward, a new normal that has evolved.

Causes

Lumbar stenosis is most frequently caused by degenerative changes (osteoarthritis) in the lower back. After years of normal wear and tear, cushioning between bones in the spine may break down, allowing bones to wear against each other. At these sites, the body produces growths called bone spurs that may narrow the spinal canal, causing pressure on the spinal nerves, or cauda equina. Occasionally, large disc herniations and spinal tumors can narrow the spinal canal enough to cause compression.

Lumbar stenosis may or may not require treatment depending on whether symptoms include pain or disability. Non-surgical treatments may include modifying activities to reduce stress on the spine, physical therapy, medications or injections to reduce pain and inflammation, or wearing a brace. In severe cases or those that are progressively worsening, surgery or Canal Stenosis Treatment in Ahmedabad may be performed to correct the condition.

Frequently Ask Questions

What is Canal Stenosis?

Canal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which can compress the spinal cord or nerves. It most commonly occurs in the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) spine.

Lumbar Stenosis: Affects the lower back, often causing leg pain.
Cervical Stenosis: Affects the neck, possibly compressing the spinal cord.

What Is Spinal Cord Injury?

A spinal cord injury happens when the spinal cord is damaged due to an accident, fall, sports injury, or other causes. The spinal cord carries messages between the brain and body, so an injury can affect movement, sensation, and body functions. Depending on the level and severity, SCI may cause partial or complete loss of movement and feeling below the injury.

Symptoms of Spinal Cord Injury

  • Severe back or neck pain
  • Loss of movement in arms or legs (paralysis)
  • Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation
  • Loss of bladder or bowel control
  • Difficulty breathing or coughing (in higher-level injuries)
  • Weakness or poor coordination

Causes of Spinal Cord Injury

  • Trauma – Road accidents, falls, sports injuries, violence
  • Spinal tumors – Pressing on the spinal cord
  • Spinal infections – Causing swelling and pressure
  • Degenerative changes – Severe disc disease or arthritis narrowing the spinal canal
  • Surgical or medical complications – Rare but possible

Who Is at Risk?

You may have a higher chance of spinal cord injury if you:
  • Drive or ride two-wheelers frequently
  • Play high-impact sports
  • Have weak bones (osteoporosis)
  • Work in jobs with a risk of falls or heavy lifting
  • Have spinal diseases or previous spine surgery

Diagnosis

Doctors may recommend:
  • Physical exam – Checking movement, sensation, and reflexes
  • X-rays – To look for fractures or dislocation
  • MRI – To see spinal cord compression, swelling, or bleeding
  • CT scan – For detailed bone and injury view

Treatment for Spinal Cord Injury

  • Emergency care – Immediate immobilization and stabilization to prevent further damage
  • Medicines – To reduce swelling and protect nerves
  • Surgery – To remove pressure (tumor, disc, bone fragment) and stabilize the spine with screws/rods
  • Rehabilitation – Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and lifestyle support to maximize recovery
  • Assistive devices – Braces, wheelchairs, or walking aids if needed

Advanced Treatment With O-arm® O2® Imaging

At Indospine Hospital, we use the O-arm® O2® Surgical Imaging System to make spinal cord injury surgeries safer and more accurate:
  • Real-time 2D and 3D spine imaging during surgery
  • Precise screw and implant placement for stabilization
  • Better visualization of injured areas
  • Reduced risk of complications and repeat surgeries
  • Faster recovery and improved outcomes

FAQs on Spinal Cord Injury

1. Can spinal cord injury be cured?
There is no complete cure yet, but with early treatment and rehabilitation, patients can recover significant function and live independently.
Road traffic accidents and falls are the leading causes worldwide.
Immediately. Early care within the first few hours can greatly improve recovery chances.
Not always. Surgery is needed if the spinal cord is compressed or if the spine is unstable.
It depends on the severity. Some patients recover with rehab and treatment, while others may need support devices.
