What Spinal Stenosis
Feels Like
Stenosis means the spaces around the nerves in the spine have narrowed.
Narrowing with age
Spinal joints can enlarge, ligaments thicken and discs lose height over time. Each change takes room from the nerves.
Worse standing, better sitting
Standing upright narrows the space further. Sitting or leaning forward, as on a shopping cart, opens it and often brings relief.
One leg or both
Stenosis can pinch more than one nerve, so pain, heaviness or tingling may reach one leg or both.
How We Treat
Spinal Stenosis
Care aims to ease pressure on the nerves so you can stand and walk longer.
Spinal Decompression
Controlled traction that gently changes pressure and spacing in the low back. It can help when discs add to the narrowing.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle adjustments that keep the low back and hips moving.
Laser Therapy
Specific wavelengths of light applied to the skin. Certain laser devices are FDA-cleared for the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint pain.
Rehab
Flexibility and strength work aimed at standing and walking with less pain.
Common Signs
Of Spinal Stenosis

- Relief When Leaning ForwardNeeding to sit, or lean on a cart, for the pain to fade.
- Low Back PainAching, burning or pressure across the low back.
