Overview: Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Background - Back

Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, which can compress the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing often results in pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, and symptoms may worsen with prolonged standing or walking. Common causes include age-related changes, arthritis, and the development of bone spurs. Treatment options range from conservative approaches such as physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications to more advanced interventions like epidural injections or surgical procedures to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. At the ISS, we specialize in diagnosing and treating lumbar spinal stenosis, aiming to restore mobility and improve our patients’ quality of life.
