Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spaces within the spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, and mobility issues, making everyday activities difficult. If left untreated, spinal stenosis can worsen over time, significantly impacting quality of life. At Blue Line Medical, we provide non-surgical, drug-free treatments to help relieve spinal stenosis symptoms and improve mobility.
Request an AppointmentWhat is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis most commonly affects the neck (cervical stenosis) and lower back (lumbar stenosis). It is often caused by degenerative changes in the spine and tends to worsen with age.
Common Causes of Spinal Stenosis
- Degenerative Disc Disease – As spinal discs wear down, vertebrae may move closer together, narrowing the spinal canal.
- Osteoarthritis & Bone Spurs – Over time, arthritis can lead to excess bone growth (bone spurs) that reduce space within the spine.
- Herniated Discs – A bulging or ruptured disc can press against spinal nerves, causing pain and weakness.
- Thickened Ligaments – The ligaments that hold the spine together may thicken and reduce space in the spinal canal.
- Spinal Injuries – Accidents, fractures, or prior spinal surgeries may contribute to the narrowing of the spinal canal.
Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
Symptoms of spinal stenosis vary depending on its location and severity but often include:
- Chronic back or neck pain
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet
- Weakness in the limbs, making it difficult to walk or maintain balance
- Leg pain or cramping (especially when standing or walking for extended periods)
- Difficulty with coordination or frequent falls
- In severe cases – Loss of bladder or bowel control (requires immediate medical attention)
