Spinal Stenosis
what is Spinal Stenosis?
Overview
Spinal stenosis usually occurs in the lower back and neck. It is a narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. If the narrowing is minimal, no symptoms will appear. Whereas, too much narrowing can compress the nerves and create problems.
Causes of spinal stenosis may include:
- Herniated disks
- Overgrowth of bone
- Bone tumors
- Thickened ligaments
- Spinal injuries

Treatment
Chiropractic therapy: Chiropractors perform spinal manipulations that shift herniated disks back into their position, taking pressure off the spinal cord, facet joints, and adjoining connective tissues. There are other non-invasive methods such as massage, vibration board therapy, and prescribed exercises that can assist in restoring flexibility, improving spinal support, and nerve function.
