Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. This can lead to back pain, leg pain, numbness, or difficulty walking. Most commonly affecting the lower back (lumbar stenosis), the condition can gradually worsen without proper treatment. At Synchrony, we use advanced physiotherapy and chiropractic techniques to relieve nerve compression, strengthen your spine, and restore comfortable movement.
Common Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis
Symptoms may vary depending on the area of the spine affected, but can include:
-
Lower back pain
-
Leg pain, heaviness, or fatigue (neurogenic claudication)
-
Numbness or tingling in legs or feet
-
Weakness in the legs
-
Pain that worsens with standing or walking
-
Relief when bending forward or sitting
-
Difficulty maintaining balance
Many patients describe feeling “tightness” or “pressure” in the back or legs during activity.
What Causes Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis can develop due to:
-
Age-related spinal degeneration
-
Disc bulges or herniation
-
Thickened ligaments
-
Osteoarthritis or bone spurs
-
Poor posture and prolonged sitting
-
Previous spinal injuries
-
Scoliosis or structural issues
Our goal is to reduce nerve compression while improving mobility and spinal function.
