Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal canal ,can put direct pressure on your spinal cord..If this happens in your lower lumbar vertebrae ie. low back ..you might experience pain in your legs..buttock pain..abnormal bowel movements..recurrent kidney infections..In some cases ,spinal correction does remove some or all of the pressure on the spinal cord,,,sometimes there is a lot of disc herniation as well..even so, some patients experience far less pain within a few treatments. If there is a lot of disc bulging,and joint and disc degeneration, you would need to maintain the correction periodically when symptoms return. The Chiropractic adjustment becomes a management tool to avoid surgery.
