Spinal Stenosis
What is the Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis results from new bone and soft tissue growth on the vertebrae, which reduces the space in the spinal canal. When the nerve roots are pinched, a painful burning, tingling and/or numbing sensation is felt from the lower back down to the legs and sometimes all the way to the feet.
Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
If you are over age 50 and suffer from lower back pain that is relieved when bending over or sitting down, you may be experiencing the symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) — a degenerative, age-related narrowing of the lower spinal canal that causes pressure on the nerves and leads to pain and immobility.
LSS is a common condition, with 1.2 million Americans diagnosed and treated each year.1
