Spinal Stenosis:

Spinal Stenosis symptoms, treatment and surgery.


Spinal stenosis pain is a very common finding in my clients. I think it is frequently misdiagnosed during medical assessments and my clients have been treated for a joint or muscle strain - when they should be treated more specifically for spinal stenosis.



Spinal stenosis can affect your neck, middle or lower back - and sometimes it affects all three. I find spinal stenosis in the lower back to be most common and this may also be accompanied by lower back pain, leg pain or bowel symptoms. The severity of these symptoms can vary between people.

In this section, we will look more closely at just what is spinal stenosis? What are the sort of symptoms that you will feel or see? What are the alternative treatments to spinal stenosis surgery?
