Spinal stenosis is a painful condition of the spine. It most commonly occurs in the lower back and causes, numbness, tingling, pain and loss of range of motion. Here at Premier Family Chiropractic, we can diagnose the sources of your spinal stenosis and recommend a course of treatment to lower your pain and improve your quality of life.
Spinal Stenosis Mechanics
The spine naturally contains spaces. In individuals with spinal stenosis, these spaces narrow, compressing and pinching nerve roots and the spinal cord.
Causes of Spinal Stenosis
Narrowing of the spaces in the spine can be caused by an injury to the spine, instability of the vertebrae, aging and arthritis. Individuals can also be born with a narrow spinal canal, which can cause symptoms of spinal stenosis at relatively young ages.
Spinal Stenosis Symptoms
Symptoms of spinal stenosis include lack of coordination or falling, pain while walking and numbness, tingling or burning in the legs. These symptoms mean that the nerves in your back are being compressed or pinched, and you are in need of an evaluation by our Brentwood Chiropractor.
Treatment with our Brentwood Chiropractor
Our Brentwood Chiropractor can determine the causes of your spinal stenosis and recommend a non-invasive, completely natural treatment to heal your injuries and reduce the symptoms of your spinal stenosis. A few of the treatments we offer include chiropractic adjustments, posture screenings and nutrition guidance.
Chiropractic adjustments help ensure that the vertebrae in your spine are properly aligned. When the vertebrae are misaligned, they can put pressure on your spinal cord and nerve roots and worsen the symptoms of spinal stenosis. Certain posture exercises can help strengthen the back and improve your posture, and eating a healthier diet can help your body heal faster. We may also recommend exercises are treatments to increase the spaces between your vertebrae.
