Spinal Stenosis Treatment

Spinal stenosis causes narrowing of the spaces within the spine, leading to nerve compression and symptoms that often worsen with walking or standing. Dr. Sanjay Rawat provides expert spinal stenosis treatment in Indore, tailored to symptom severity and patient lifestyle.

About Spinal Stenosis Treatment

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the spine narrow due to degenerative changes such as bone spurs, thickened ligaments, or disc bulging, placing pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It most commonly affects the lower back and is more prevalent in older adults. Symptoms often improve with forward bending or sitting, a characteristic feature that helps distinguish spinal stenosis from other causes of back and leg pain.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis Treatment

• Leg pain, cramping, or numbness that worsens with walking
• Relief of symptoms with sitting or bending forward
• Lower back pain and stiffness
• Weakness in the legs with prolonged standing
• Balance difficulties in advanced cases

Causes of Spinal Stenosis Treatment

• Age-related degenerative changes in the spine
• Thickened spinal ligaments narrowing the canal
• Bone spurs from osteoarthritis of the spine
• Disc bulging or herniation
• Congenitally narrow spinal canal

Diagnosis

• Detailed neurological and walking assessment
• MRI to confirm the degree of spinal canal narrowing
• X-ray to evaluate spinal alignment and bone changes
• CT scan in select cases for detailed bone assessment

Treatment Options

• Epidural steroid injections for symptom relief
