Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on nerves, often causing pain, weakness, or balance problems. Early diagnosis helps control symptoms and prevent further nerve damage with the right treatment approach.

Spinal stenosis commonly affects older adults but can also develop due to disc degeneration, arthritis, ligament thickening, or previous spinal injuries. As the spinal canal narrows, pressure builds on the nerves, causing symptoms such as back pain, leg pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness—especially while standing or walking for long periods.
At Dr. Sushil Kumar Singh Orthopaedic Hospital, Patna, spinal stenosis treatment begins with detailed clinical evaluation and imaging studies. The focus is on relieving nerve pressure, improving mobility, and enhancing daily comfort. Non-surgical treatment is always considered first, while surgery is recommended only when symptoms significantly affect quality of life or do not respond to conservative care.

In simple terms, spinal stenosis happens when the space around the spinal nerves becomes too narrow, leading to pain, numbness, or weakness.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It most commonly occurs in the lower back (lumbar stenosis) or neck (cervical stenosis) and often develops gradually over time.
