What is Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis is a lower back condition that occurs when the space around the spinal cord, known as the spinal canal, becomes smaller. When this happens, pressure is placed on the spinal cord as well as the spinal nerve roots.
Common symptoms patients with lumbar spinal stenosis experience include:
• Pain, numbness, heaviness, or tingling in the upper legs or buttocks when walking
• Pain or numbness in the lower back when standing upright
• Relief when sitting or bending forward
The mild procedure can provide patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis with a variety of benefits.
