Spinal Stenosis

If you’re experiencing lower-back pain, loss of feeling in your legs or a limp, you may have spinal stenosis, a degenerative condition that affects the spine. Symptoms are caused by a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can occur for multiple reasons, including thickened ligaments, a spreading infection, abscess, a congenital anomaly, degenerative changes or vertebral dislocations. While the painful and debilitating condition is chronic and without a cure, at Therapeutic Solutions LLC we can help you manage your pain, reduce symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Discomfort caused by stenosis builds gradually, separating the condition from others, such as herniated discs, which can have similar symptoms that appear much more rapidly. The treatment for stenosis usually depends on its cause. While medical doctors recommend pain medications and even surgery to provide pain relief, medication can have strong side effects and surgery only temporarily removes pain.

Conservative chiropractic care, on the other hand, is non-invasive and can lessen pain and discomfort, while maintaining joint mobility and allowing the patient to live a reasonable lifestyle for longer. By using spinal manipulation and other holistic methods, chiropractic can reduce pain and increase mobility, while at home exercises are effective for stretching and strengthening the lower back.
