Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It most commonly occurs due to aging as tissues thicken and bones enlarge, compressing the nerves. Other causes include arthritis, spine defects at birth, scoliosis, and certain bone diseases. Treatment options depend on severity of symptoms and health conditions but generally begin with anti-inflammatory medications, epidural steroid injections, and physical therapy. When conservative treatments are not effective, surgery may be needed to provide more space for nerves.

2. What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is often find in the old age mostly people goes with the
various type of stenosis in the medical field. Stenosis means the abnormal
narrowing of a body channel. When combined with the word spinal, it
defines a narrowing of the bone channel occupied by the spinal nerves or the
spinal cord. There are various type of spinal stenosis mostly know as central
spinal stenosis, far lateral spinal stenosis, foraminal spinal stenosis, bilateral
spinal stenosis, cervical spinal stenosis and lumbar spinal stenosis.

3. What are the causes of spinal stenosis?
The most common cause of spinal stenosis is aging. Degenerative processes
occur throughout your body as it ages. Tissues in your spine may start to
thicken, and bones may get bigger, compressing the nerves. Conditions like
osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis may also contribute to spinal
stenosis. The inflammation they cause can put pressure on your spinal cord.
Other conditions that can cause stenosis include spine defects present at
birth, a naturally narrow spinal cord, spinal curvature, or scoliosis, Paget’s
disease of the bone, which causes abnormal bone destruction and regrowth,
bone tumors ,achondroplasia, which is a type of dwarfism.

4. Treatment for Spinal Stenosis:
There are various treatments available for spinal stenosis depending on how
severe the patient's symptoms are and underlying medical conditions. In the
majority of cases, it can be treated without surgery. In some cases, conservative,
non-surgical treatment (such as medication and physical therapy) may provide
sufficient nerve decompression and pain relief, but surgery is occasionally
required to provide the room necessary for the nerves to travel unencumbered.
Initial treatments include anti-inflammatory medications. These medications
help reduce the inflammation and swelling around the nerves being compression.
Epidural steroid (cortisone) injections can provide a larger dose of medications to
reduce inflammation directly to the site of nerve compression. Physical therapy
can help strengthen the muscles surrounding the spinal column and take some of
the pressure off the spine.
