End The Back Pain, Leg Pain, and Numbness Caused by Cervical and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Don't live another day with restrictions caused by spinal canal narrowing.
Spinal stenosis is a condition that is most common in aging adults. Medical professionals refer to spinal stenosis as a narrowing of spaces in the spine that puts pressure on the spinal cord. This pressure can cause a number of different problems. Spinal stenosis usually involves at least one of the following areas the cervical, thoracic or lumbar portion of the spine.
Spinal stenosis is often accepted as part of growing older. Overtime, wear and tear on the discs that are between the vertebrae, wear down. The discs provide the cushion and space the spine needs to function correctly. Typically, spinal stenosis is more common in those over the age of 50. Osteoarthritis may also bring on spinal stenosis because of the body's attempt at repairing damage to the spine. This repair work often results in bone spurs that end up narrowing the spinal cord passageways. Spinal tumors can also result in spinal stenosis. A tumor may grow large enough that it applies pressure to the spinal cord and nerves surrounding it. The tumor may fill the space between the vertebrae causing a spinal stenosis diagnosis.
It is possible for a person to be born with a number of different genetic conditions that cause spinal stenosis. Those with achondroplasia or dwarfism may develop stenosis diagnosis. An injury can also lead to spinal stenosis. Those that have undergone back surgery may experience a temporary case of spinal stenosis as a result of the swelling that accompanies most surgeries.
The spine protects the spinal cord. When the spine pathways and space between vertebrae begin to narrow, the spinal cord and nerves connected to the spinal cord may feel some pressure. This pressure may translate to pain for some. Others are fortunate and do not experience any symptoms. Depending on what part of the spine is narrowing, a person may experience some numbness or tingly feeling in their limbs. Arms, legs and feet may also feel weakened. This weakened state often causes a person to trip or fall. The weakness may extend to a person's hands making it difficult for them to pick things up.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is the most common form of stenosis. It makes up 75 percent of all spinal stenosis cases. Lumbar spinal stenosis is often mistaken for sciatica because of the pressure it puts on the sciatic nerve. This particular type of spinal stenosis is in the lower back and can cause cramps in the legs, usually while walking or simply standing for too long. Once a person sits down, the symptoms will generally subside.
Cervical spinal stenosis can have some of the same symptoms as lumbar spinal stenosis but the shoulders and neck are also included. When the pain begins at the top of the neck and works its way down the back and extends to the buttocks and legs it is called a sensory march. In severe cases, a person may lose control of their bladder and bowels. In rare cases, a person may experience some paralysis.
