Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the space around the spinal cord is narrowed. This condition can lead to pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and even bowel issues. It can be caused by several factors such as spinal trauma, injury, thickened ligaments, herniated discs, tumors, and the growth of bone spurs. Some people are born with smaller spinal canals, which can also cause spinal stenosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, and physical therapy can be an effective treatment option. Our Physical therapists at Pro Motion Rehab create customized exercise programs to help alleviate pressure in the spinal canal, relieve pain, enhance flexibility, and strengthen the body. By working with a physical therapist, patients can learn the best ways to maintain movement and relieve joint stress, avoiding severe limitations and the need for surgery. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any symptoms of spinal stenosis.
