DON'T LET SPINAL STENOSIS SYMPTOMS LAY YOU UP

Spinal Stenosis Symptoms are part of a degenerative condition of your spinal column.

The definition of Spinal Stenosis comes from a Greek word that means narrowing of a canal.

In Spinal Stenosis it's your spinal canal that narrows.

This disorder can occur in middle age, but is more common in the elderly as a result of Osteoarthritis.

As the arthritis gets worse the spinal canal narrows and starts putting pressure on your Sciatic Nerve.

This causes pain in your buttocks, upper leg, and into the lower leg.

Spinal Stenosis Symptoms are worse when walking, running, climbing stairs, and sometimes after sitting for long periods.

Symptoms can also include weakness and altered feeling in your affected leg. The symptoms get worse over time and are different from person to person.

If the narrowing is not too advanced yet, your symptoms could be limited to a small area.

When the condition gets more severe, pain could cover a larger part of your low-back, buttock, and leg.

There could even be pain radiating down both your legs.

Symptoms are usually helped by bending forward and by resting from physical activity.

Some experts believe that people who develop this condition may have inherited a smaller than normal spinal canal size.

Degenerative changes would cause pain in this person sooner than in someone who had a normal size spinal canal.

A major disorder that contributes to Spinal Stenosis Symptoms is Disc Degeneration.

As discs in your back degenerate and get thinner more stress is put on the joints that form your spinal canal.

Degenerative changes usually happen at the bottom of your spine first. This is where the Sciatic Nerve comes out of your spinal canal.

The sciatic nerve runs from your low-back down both legs. Pressure on your sciatic nerve causes the pain in your back, buttock, and into your leg. It is becoming more and more common as our country’s population ages.

Treatment for this problem varies from conservative Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Exercise, and over the counter Medication; to a number of possible surgical procedures.

Spinal Stenosis Symptoms can be similar to other problems such as: Herniated Discs, Ankylosing Spondylitis, Diabetic Neuropathy, Nerve Damage, Piriformis Syndrome, Peripheral Artery Disease, and others.

So it is important to find a specialist who is able to pin-point the cause of your pain in order to recommend treatment that will be most successful.
