About Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal or the smaller openings through which nerve roots exit the spine, creating pressure on the spinal cord or peripheral nerves. It most commonly affects the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) regions and tends to develop gradually as the spine ages. Symptoms range from aching low back pain to radiating leg pain, weakness, and sensory changes that worsen with standing or walking. Conservative care, including chiropractic adjustment (spinal manipulation), spinal decompression, and targeted soft-tissue therapy, can reduce nerve compression and improve function without surgery.
