As people age, the common wear and tear on the back can lead to a condition called spinal stenosis. Stenosis of the spine occurs when the open spaces within the spine become narrow, which puts pressure on the spinal cord. This can cause various symptoms, including weakness and numbness in the back, neck, and shoulders, and can also cause problems with bladder and bowel function.
Spinal stenosis treatment often includes surgical intervention, but surgery for spinal stenosis is not always successful. Fortunately, even for those who suffer from failed back surgery syndrome, treatment is available to alleviate symptoms of spinal stenosis. Exercises, physical therapy, massage therapy, and epidural steroid injections, as well as spinal decompression, have all proven effective in the treatment of spinal stenosis.
