Understanding Spinal Stenosis

At NY Spine & Orthopedic, we offer specialized care for spinal stenosis, a condition where the spinal canal narrows and compresses the nerves traveling through the spine. This can lead to pain, numbness, and muscle weakness, significantly impacting your daily life. Our expert team is dedicated to providing effective treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Causes and Risk Factors

Spinal stenosis can result from various factors, including:

  • Aging: Degenerative changes in the spine are common with age.
  • Herniated Discs: Discs that protrude into the spinal canal can cause compression.
  • Bone Spurs: Bony growths can narrow the spinal canal.
  • Spinal Injuries: Trauma to the spine can lead to stenosis.
  • Congenital Conditions: Some individuals are born with a naturally narrow spinal canal.
  • Tumors: Abnormal growths within the spine can cause compression.

Diagnosis

Diagnosing spinal stenosis involves a comprehensive medical history, physical examination, and imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans. These tests help identify the extent and location of the spinal canal narrowing and guide the development of an effective treatment plan.

Non-Surgical Treatments

  • Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen the muscles supporting the spine and improve flexibility.
  • Medications: Pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs, and muscle relaxants to manage symptoms.
  • Injections: Epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.
  • Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management, posture improvement, and ergonomic adjustments.

Surgical Treatments

When conservative treatments are not effective, surgical options may be necessary, including:

  • Laminectomy: Removal of part of the vertebra to enlarge the spinal canal and relieve pressure.
  • Spinal Fusion: Fusing adjacent vertebrae to stabilize the spine.
  • Foraminotomy: Enlarging the openings where nerve roots exit the spine to reduce compression.
