Spinal Stenosis Treatment Without Surgery
Age can be a difficult thing for your body to deal with. A lot of us have to put up with spinal stenosis, which is when the holes in our vertebrae (called the spinal canal) narrow, putting pressure on our spinal nerves. This condition is very common, and can cause pain and numbness to radiate down our legs.
Spinal stenosis is actually the most significant cause of spinal surgery in patients older than 65, and is often paired with a long recovery time. There can be a lot of swelling around the nerves causing your symptoms, which many clinics and doctors will try to combat with steroid injections, medications, and (in the worst cases) surgery.
We understand how important it is to get back to doing your favorite activities without pain, which is why surgery and its long recovery time plus potential side effects is not something we want for our patients.

Spine Stenosis Treatment Without Surgery Frequently Asked Questions
What is spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is when you get pain, numbness, and/or weakness in your arms or legs (depending on where the stenosis is happening) due to the narrowing of the spinal canal. This narrowing causes pressure on your nerves by your spine, creating these symptoms. It’s usually age-related, mostly affecting individuals over the age of 60.
Why does bending forwards or sitting help reduce symptoms of spinal stenosis?
The pain often reduces when we bend forward or sit because we create more space in our vertebrae with that movement, which can ease some of the pressure on the structures around them.

We strongly believe in the evidence that shows how powerful the body is at healing itself, which is why we utilize integrative medicine to put your body in a regenerative state, giving it the tools it needs to relieve pain and heal the issue faster and more effectively than surgery or drugs do.
