Spinal Stenosis

What Is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is a condition where the spaces inside the spine become narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It usually happens in the lower back (lumbar spine) or neck (cervical spine). The narrowing can cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

  • Pain in the back or neck
  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms or legs
  • Pain that worsens while walking or standing and gets better when sitting or bending forward
  • Trouble with balance or frequent falls
  • In severe cases: bladder or bowel control problems

Causes of Spinal Stenosis

  • Age-related changes – Wear and tear in the spine with age
  • Herniated discs – Slipped discs pressing on nerves
  • Bone spurs – Extra bone growth due to arthritis
  • Thickened ligaments – Ligaments inside the spine become stiff and press on nerves
  • Spine injuries – Accidents or trauma that change spine shape
  • Spinal tumors – Rare, but can cause narrowing

Who Is at Risk?

You may have a higher chance of spine tumors if youYou may have a higher chance of spinal stenosis if you have:
  • Age above 50
  • Have family Arthritis or degenerative disc diseaseof brain or spinal tumors
  • History of spine injury or surgery
  • Spinal deformities (scoliosis, kyphosis)
  • Family history of spine problems

Diagnosis

Doctors may suggest:
  • Physical exam – To check reflexes, strength, and walking ability
  • MRI scan – To see spinal cord and nerves clearly
  • CT scan – To check bone spurs or disc issues
  • X-rays – To show alignment and narrowing of spaces

Treatment for Spinal Stenosis

  • Medicines – Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants
  • Physiotherapy – Exercises to improve strength, posture, and flexibility
  • Epidural injections – To reduce pain and swelling around nerves
  • Surgery – For severe cases where non-surgical treatment fails
  • Decompression surgery: Removes bone spurs or disc parts pressing on nerves
  • Stabilization surgery: Uses rods/screws if the spine is unstable
