Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis are commonly recognized by a bent-forward, shuffling posture and a characteristic small-step gait. Stenosis is one of the most common reasons for spinal surgery in the elderly. Stenosis surgery, however, is a major procedure that is recommended only when conservative methods of care aren’t effective or when stenosis is caused be tumors or accompanied by intolerable pain or severe neurological problems, such as loss of bowel and bladder function.
Severe Lumbar Stenosis
What is Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is created by the narrowing of the spinal canal. This narrowing may be caused by mechanical problems or by abnormalities in the aging spine. Often considered a degenerative condition, it may exist for years without causing pain or discomfort, but a fall or an accident can trigger characteristic stenotic pain.
How is stenosis diagnosed?
Spinal stenosis can be diagnosed based on the history of symptoms, a physical examination and imaging tests.
How is stenosis treated?
The conservative chiropractic approach includes manipulation, flexion-distraction, exercise, and self-care techniques. Ultimately, stenosis is a chronic condition that cannot be “cured,” but it often can be improved, and improvement can be maintained over the long term.
