Spinal Stenosis Symptoms

Spinal Stenosis Symptoms are a rarity for those who have this condition. In fact, most people who are afflicted by spinal stenosis aren't even aware that they have it. Symptoms only develop when the narrowing in the spine becomes so severe that a nerve root or the spinal cord is impinged upon. However, when this does occur, the symptoms can be extremely severe and can make even once–simple tasks like taking a walk seem undoable, impeding a person from living a fulfilling life.

Spinal stenosis symptoms can include:

Tingling
Numbness
Pain
Weakness
Muscle spasms
Headaches
More

The area in which the symptoms are felt depends on the location of the narrowing in the spine. For example, if the narrowing occurs in the C2 vertebrae, which is part of the cervical spine, and puts pressure on a nerve root, symptoms will be felt in the neck, upper back, and/or arms. Narrowing in the L3 vertebrae, which is part of the lumbar spine, will cause symptoms in the lower back, buttocks, and/or legs.

For more information on treating spinal stenosis symptoms, including minimally invasive spine surgery, contact Laser Spine Institute. We'll have one of our experienced spine doctors look over your CT scan or MRI free of charge and let you know if you qualify for one of these procedures. The doctor will also be happy to answer any questions you may have about the procedures and your other treatment options.
