LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS TREATMENT​
​​
Lumbar spinal stenosis can make standing and walking uncomfortable, often causing pain, numbness, or heaviness in the lower back and legs. At Bayview North Family Chiropractic, we take the time to understand how your symptoms are affecting your mobility and daily life so we can develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your needs and goals.
WHAT IS LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS?​​​​
​​​​​
Lumbar spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the lower spine become narrower, placing pressure on the nerves that travel through them. This often develops gradually due to age-related changes, arthritis, disc bulges, or thickened ligaments. As the available space decreases, it can lead to symptoms such as lower back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness, particularly when standing or walking.

Managing lumbar spinal stenosis begins with a thorough assessment of your spine, posture, movement patterns, and nerve function to better understand how your condition is affecting your mobility. Depending on your assessment findings, treatment may include chiropractic care, specialized Flexion-Distraction Therapy, and other flexion-based techniques designed to help improve comfort and reduce pressure on irritated nerves.
