Spinal Stenosis

Condition Description

Spinal stenosis is, by definition, narrowing of the spinal canal. This is your typical lumbar, or low back. Through the middle of the lumbar spine runs the spinal cord. Inside the cord are the nerves. These areas can be pinched as the spinal canal narrows. Spinal stenosis can be caused by various things as we age: bone spurs, thickening of the ligament, bulging or herniated disks, cysts growing from facet joints, arthritis and inflammation. When it reaches a certain point of narrowness, then you, as the patient, might begin to experience symptoms. These symptoms can include: pain, numbness, tingling, weakness in the legs, pain in the back.

Generally, treatment for spinal stenosis can start with something conservative. Some patients benefit from traction or inversion tables, chiropractor, some physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, or even epidural steroids that they can get a period of relief or some level of improvement. At some point, spinal canal stenosis will become significant enough that the conservative treatments fail to alleviate the symptoms, and at that point, the patient, generally, will look for some type of surgical relief from their symptoms.

Through minimally invasive techniques at 360 Ortho and Spine, we can make an incision in the low back that is smaller than an inch, we split the muscle, it is a muscle-sparing surgery; therefore, the muscle is not cut. Less pain, less bleeding, quicker recovery. We get down to bone and make a window in the bone called a laminotomy. Through that window, we’re able to access the spinal canal. We’re able to remove offending agents that are pinching or narrowing the canal thereby eliminating the pinching or symptoms that are experienced by the narrow spinal canal.
