Overview

Spinal stenosis is an anatomical narrowing of the spinal canal, which can cause severe pain and other neurological symptoms. It is most commonly caused by a buildup of bony material in the vertebrae or a herniated disc, although it can also be caused by tumors and other structural abnormalities. The narrowing of the spinal canal can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves and can lead to pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the arms, hands, legs, and feet. In extreme cases, it can lead to paralysis. Treatment of spinal stenosis typically involves physical therapy, medications, and, in some cases, surgery.
