Lumbar Stenosis is a condition where the spinal canal in the lower back narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing can result from various factors, including age-related changes in the spine, such as thickening of ligaments or overgrowth of bone, herniated discs, or spinal injuries. Lumbar stenosis can cause symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness, or tingling in the lower back, buttocks, and legs, which may worsen with walking or standing. Treatment options for lumbar stenosis include medication, physical therapy, steroid injections, and in severe cases, surgery to decompress the affected nerves and relieve symptoms.Jose Valerio offers many innovative treatment options that provide positive outcomes.
