Severe Spinal Stenosis L4 L5 Treatment

• Spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the gaps in the
  spine, can compress your spinal cord and the
  nerve roots which exit each vertebra.
• According to orthopedic spine specialists,
  aging-related alterations to your spine are a
  frequent cause of spinal stenosis.
• The spinal cord or the nerves may get irritated,
  compressed, or pinched due to restricted space,
  resulting in back discomfort and sciatica. Spinal
  stenosis typically worsens over time gradually.
• This implies that even if alterations may be seen
  on X-rays or other imaging tests if they are done
  for another purpose, you might not have signs
  right away.
• Depending on where and how serious the spinal
  stenosis is, you can feel pain, numbness,
  tingling, or fragility in your neck, back, limbs,
  fingers, or feet.

Severe Spinal Stenosis L4 L5 Treatment

• Causes and Symptoms
• Many factors can lead to spinal stenosis. They
  all alter the spines structure, which results in
  a narrowing of the area around your spinal cord
  and the nerve roots that leave the spine. There
  are several reasons for spinal stenosis, these
  include
• Osteoporosis and arthritis spurs
• Swollen discs
• Enlarged ligaments
• Fractures and wounds to the spine
• Spinal tumors

Severe Spinal Stenosis L4 L5 Treatment

• Usually, the narrowing of the spinal canal occurs
  gradually and worsens over time. Although spinal
  stenosis can develop anywhere along the spinal
  column, it often impacts the neck and lower back.
  The spine surgeons in the UK claim that each
  persons symptoms are unique and can change over
  time. Spinal stenosis in the lower back (lumbar)
  and neck (cervical) can cause the following
  symptoms
• Sore neck
• Arm, hand, foot, leg, or another body part numb
  or tingling
• Heavy sensation in the legs that could cause one
  or both legs to cramp
• Difficulties with balancing
• Sluggishness or awkwardness
• An ache that subsides by bending slightly
  forward, leaning
• Lower back pain

Severe Spinal Stenosis L4 L5 Treatment

• Treatment of Spinal Stenosis at L4 and L5
• Laminectomy is the procedure used most frequently
  to treat spinal stenosis in the L4-L5 area.
• During this procedure, the lamina is either
  entirely or in part removed to widen the spinal
  canal and relieve nerve compression.
• The vertebral arch is made up of a little piece
  of bone called the lamina. It covers the back of
  the spinal canal.
• By removing all or part of this bony spinal
  component, your spinal surgery can effectively
  address the signs and indicators of spinal
  stenosis.
• However, after a laminectomy, spinal instability
  is a possibility.
• Many spinal stenosis surgeons have combined the
  procedure with spinal fusion to reduce this risk.

• Changing ones habits and activities, such as
  giving up smoking and beginning a low-impact
  exercise program,
• Chiropractic treatment, which employs physical
  adjustments to improve spinal alignment,
• Acupuncture is a treatment that might encourage
  the bodys own healing mechanisms.
• These are some conditions when using a spinal
  cord stimulator can help.
