Spinal Stenosis Treatment

Spinal stenosis is a condition affecting the lower and upper back areas. It results from compressed spaces between the spinal bones which exerts pressure on the spinal nerves. Our chiropractors at Westport Chiropractic and Acupuncture are experienced in providing relief for our spinal stenosis patients in Westport, CT.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

The most commonly affected area is the lumbar vertebrae, with patients experiencing chronic pain, tingling, cramping, and numbness in the legs and feet. Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal bones are compressed. This impairment is characterized by:

  • Pain and numbness in the neck
  • Back pain
  • Numbness in the legs
  • Balance and stability issues
  • Mobility difficulties

Causes of Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is commonly caused by osteoarthritis, which results from the wearing and tearing of the joints due to repetitive stress, misalignment, and acute injuries. In most cases, spinal stenosis is caused by such factors as:

  • Trauma from spinal injuries
  • Previous surgeries
  • Poor posture
  • Cysts or tumors
  • Thickened and stiff ligaments
  • Herniated discs
  • As a result of old age
  • Bone overgrowth from conditions like osteoarthritis

Who Is At Risk of Spinal Stenosis?

People at risk of developing this condition are those who spend most of their time sitting and those advanced in age. Spinal stenosis affects the legs, back, knees, ankles, and spine. During your visit with one of our chiropractors, a medical history is taken to determine the cause of this condition, as some people are born with a narrow spinal cord canal. This is an important risk factor for the condition.

Diagnosis and Treatment of Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis can be a debilitating condition if left untreated for long. Although traditional treatment options can help reduce this condition, they don't prevent the progression of degenerative processes. On the other hand, chiropractic treatments are non-invasive and help reduce the pressure on the nervous system, which reduces pain levels and restores range of motion.

If you are experiencing pain from spinal stenosis; it's important to consult with a chiropractor for an appropriate diagnosis. The treatment plan varies with each patient depending on the overall health and the extent of the pain. A physical examination helps determine the severity of the condition so that a chiropractic expert can create a personalized treatment plan.

Chiropractic Care For Spinal Stenosis

Chiropractic care is a non-invasive wellness approach that seeks to heal spinal stenosis through spinal manipulation. Chiropractic aligns and corrects the dislocated and herniated discs, which reduces pressure on the spinal cord joints and nerves. Chiropractors use natural techniques to treat pain, reduce inflammation, and restore muscle functions.
