Stenosis

What it is :
As we age, ligaments in the spine can begin to thicken and harden. Bones and joints can enlarge and bone growths can develop on the vertebrae. This causes the spinal canal to narrow, placing pressure on the spinal cord and creating a condition called stenosis.

Stenosis often goes hand-in-hand with spondylosis.

Where it occurs:
Stenosis can appear in the:

	Neck (cervical spine)
	Low back (lumbar spine)
	Middle and upper back (thoracic spine)

The Symptoms:
Patients with bulging or herniated discs may experience:

	Pain
	Numbness
	Tingling
	Weakness
	Stiffness
