Bottom Line
Have you been told that you have spinal stenosis?
If so, you’re not alone.
Millions of people suffer from spinal stenosis each day, and it’s the number one reason
people over 65 years old have spine surgery
Spinal stenosis describes the compression, or pinching, of your spinal cord, and it can
occur due to a disc herniation, bone spur, or ligament overgrowth.
The good news? Drugs and surgery are not the only way to find relief from stenosis in the neck.
Why It Matters
For many, the most significant challenge associated with spinal stenosis is the decreased ability to get up
and move.
Severe pinching in your neck can cause issues with your arms and legs.
One of the best ways to relieve the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis is to open up the spinal
canal and take the pressure off the nerves and spinal cord.
Many chiropractic techniques focus on decreasing the pressure on your spinal cord, which can help to
relieve the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis.
To recap:
- Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the
nerves that travel through it - Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by degenerative changes in the spine related to
osteoarthritis. - Relief can often be found through a combination of building strength in the muscles supporting
the spine and improving the flexibility and stability of the spine with chiropractic care.
