Check carefully… Your chronic back pain might be a sign of “spinal stenosis.”

Adults in the household often complain of back pain, occasional leg fatigue, or weakness in the lower back. These symptoms should not be ignored, as they may be early signs of spinal stenosis, a condition commonly caused by degeneration of the cushioning discs. The older a person becomes, the higher the risk of developing this condition…

How Does This Condition Occur?

While spinal stenosis is commonly found in older adults due to the degeneration of discs, ligaments, and joints, it can also be a congenital condition.

When the cushioning discs in the spine degenerate or wear down, inflammation may develop in the joints, causing them to swell and enlarge. This enlargement can compress or put pressure on the nerves within the spinal canal, leading to pain that radiates along the affected nerve pathways.

Don’t Ignore These Persistent Lower Back Symptoms:

Dull, aching pain in the lumbar region
Intermittent chronic pain in the center of the lower back that radiates down the legs
If left untreated, ongoing nerve compression can worsen symptoms, causing pain, numbness, or weakness in the leg muscles

Treating Spinal Stenosis

Initial Treatment

Doctors typically begin with conservative treatments, such as:

Pain relievers
Muscle relaxants
Nerve-supporting medications to reduce pain and numbness

Physical therapy or targeted exercises may also be recommended to improve joint function and reduce spinal canal compression.

When Is Surgery Needed?

If the pain becomes severe and interferes with daily activities, minimally invasive surgery may be recommended. This procedure involves removing a portion of the spinal bone and enlarging the spinal canal through a small incision.

Benefits of minimally invasive surgery include:
