Understanding Lumbar Canal Stenosis:
Lumbar canal stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal in your lower back narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can lead to symptoms like:
- Pain in the lower back and legs.
- Numbness & Tingling in your feet.
- Weakness in your legs.
- Neurogenic Claudication: Pain that worsens with walking but improves when sitting or bending forward.
When conservative treatments like physical therapy and medications don’t help, surgery may be an option!
Decompression Surgeries:
Laminectomy: Removing part of the vertebra to relieve pressure.
Fusion Procedures:
Sometimes, fusion is needed to stabilize the spine after decompression.
If you’re experiencing symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis, consult with a Dr Sangram Rajale to explore the best treatment options for you!
