At King\u2019s, our Spinal Stenosis Surgeons have decades of experience treating spinal stenosis and are highly skilled operating on patients with this condition.<\/p>\n
What is spinal stenosis?<\/strong><\/p>\n Spinal stenosis is a painful condition caused due to the reduced or narrowing of the space in the spine, resulting in excessive pressure exerted on the nerves traveling along the spine. Spinal stenosis usually occurs in the neck region (cervical stenosis) and lower back (lumbar stenosis).<\/p>\n Spinal stenosis signs & symptoms<\/strong><\/p>\n Most patients with spinal stenosis may not develop any symptoms.\u00a0 The symptoms tend to vary depending on the location of the stenosis and the nerves affected.<\/p>\n The signs and symptoms in the neck (cervical spine) include:<\/p>\n The signs and symptoms in the lower back (lumbar spine) include:<\/p>\n Spinal stenosis common causes<\/strong><\/p>\n Spinal stenosis may occur at birth due to the development of a small spinal canal. There are a number of causes and risk factors including:<\/p>\n Spinal Treatment\u00a0 & Spinal Surgical options<\/strong><\/p>\n Medications such as pain relievers, opioids, antidepressants, and anti-seizure drugs may be prescribed depending on the specific symptoms of the patients.<\/p>\n Surgery can be considered when other treatments have not helped or when the symptoms are severe. The goal of surgery is to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots by creating adequate space within the spinal canal.<\/p>\n Before surgery, the doctor may recommend some laboratory tests such as taking a blood sample to assess the patient\u2019s general health.<\/p>\n The surgical procedures for the management of spinal stenosis include:<\/p>\n During this procedure, only a part of the lamina big enough to reduce the pressure in a specific spot is removed.<\/p>\n This procedure can be performed on the cervical spine. It helps to open up the space in the spinal canal by forming a hinge on a lamina.<\/p>\n It removes the bone and lamina to reduce the damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.<\/p>\n After surgery<\/strong><\/p>\n Pain killers may be indicated to relieve pain and discomfort. Most patients are able to go home after a few hours of minimally invasive surgery.<\/p>\n Recovery period<\/strong><\/p>\n Depending on the type of surgery performed, patients may need about 2 to 3 weeks to be able to resume their regular activities. Minimally invasive surgery might reduce recovery time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"parent":4325,"menu_order":338,"template":"","service-category":[],"class_list":["post-4183","service","type-service","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n
