Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of one or more areas in your spine — most often in your neck or lower back. This narrowing can put pressure on the spinal cord or spinal nerves at the level of compression.
Depending on which nerves are affected, spinal stenosis can cause pain or numbness in your legs, back, neck, shoulders or arms; limb weakness and incoordination; loss of sensation in your extremities; and problems with bladder or bowel function. Pain is not always present, particularly if you have spinal stenosis in your neck.
Spinal stenosis is commonly caused by age-related changes in the spine. In severe cases of spinal stenosis, doctors may recommend surgery to create additional space for the spinal cord or nerves.
5/5Dr. Baruch helped me figure out a spinal issue that has caused me 6+ years of chronic, intense sciatica pain. I now feel like I have the information and tools to deal with this issue and manage my pain and health. Those who work at reception were always professional and friendly with me. Dr. Baruch is also very professional, friendly, clear and communicative in his approach. I felt like I could ask any questions I had and that he was comfortable talking through what was going on in my spine and what was evident in my MRI.
