Spinal stenosis is a spine condition in which the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Spinal Stenosis is usually a condition related to aging. Sometimes spinal stenosis is caused by spinal disc herniation, osteoporosis or a tumour.
Spinal stenosis may affect the cervical vertebrae, the lumbar vertebrae or both.
Lumbar spinal stenosis results in, and can cause lower back pain as well as pain or abnormal sensations in the legs, thighs, feet or buttocks, or loss of bladder and bowel control.
Spinal stenosis usually occurs after the age of 50, and both genders are equally affected.
