East Tennessee Spine & Sport is your go-to provider for
Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal or the spaces within the spine, resulting in compression or irritation of the spinal cord and nerves. This narrowing can occur in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back), or lumbar (lower back) regions of the spine. Spinal stenosis is often caused by age-related changes, such as degenerative disc disease or the formation of bone spurs, but can also be congenital or result from spinal injuries. The narrowing of the spinal canal can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness in the affected area or radiating into the extremities. Treatment options for spinal stenosis may include pain management techniques, physical therapy, medication, spinal injections, and in severe cases, surgical intervention to relieve pressure on the nerves and restore function.
At East Tennessee Spine and Sport, the treatment of spinal stenosis would involve a comprehensive and individualized approach. Their highly skilled therapists would conduct a thorough assessment to determine the extent and impact of the condition. Based on the assessment, they would develop personalized treatment plans that may include a combination of pain management techniques, targeted exercises, manual therapy, and modalities to alleviate pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function. They would also provide patient education on proper body mechanics, posture, and self-management strategies.
