There are many causes of lumbar stenosis

Lumbar stenosis is typically caused by the wear and tear of age such as disc degeneration, trauma from an injury, or changes resulting from surgery. Other factors that may lead to lumbar stenosis are the formation of bone spurs, herniated discs and thickened ligaments. Chiropractic treatment can help provide relief by strengthening core muscles and improving joint mobility. Physiotherapy also works to treat any misalignments or weakness in your spine which can alleviate tension on your lower back. Additionally, osteopaths can help alleviate symptoms of lumbar stenosis by enhancing spinal alignment and improving circulation through targeted manual treatments.

What is lumbar stenosis?

Lumbar stenosis is a medical condition that occurs when the spinal canal, which houses and protects the spinal cord, becomes narrowed. The narrowing of the space puts pressure on the nerves in the spine and can cause pain in the lower back or legs. This condition often occurs as people age due to the degeneration of spinal discs and bones or the formation of bone spurs.

What are the symptoms of lumbar stenosis?

Symptoms of lumbar stenosis typically include pain in the lower back and/or legs while standing or walking, but may also be caused by prolonged sitting or lying down. The pain often radiates through the buttocks and can worsen with repetitive motion. Other common symptoms include decreased sensation or numbness of the legs and feet, as well as problems with maintaining one’s balance while walking. In extreme cases, complete paralysis of the lower limbs may occur due to pressure on the nerves running through this area of the body. If you experience any of these symptoms it is important to speak with your practitioner immediately for further evaluation and treatment.

What are the treatments for lumbar stenosis?

Treatment for lumbar stenosis varies depending on the severity and cause of the condition, but can include chiropractic care, physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, injections or osteopathy. A chiropractor may recommend manual spinal manipulation to improve posture and range of motion while physiotherapy focuses on strengthening core muscles to reduce strain. Osteopaths can assist in managing lumbar stenosis by using gentle manual techniques to alleviate pressure on the spine, improve mobility, and reduce pain.
