Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal cord (cervical and thoracic spine) or nerve roots (lumbar spine) become compressed in the spinal canal. This is usually from a combination of age-related wear and tear changes such as arthritis in the facet joints, disc bulge and overgrown ligament.
In the low back (lumbar spine), spinal stenosis usually causes symptoms such as aching, pain and numbness down the legs when upright. Spinal stenosis can cause progressive reduction in walking distance and standing time. Symptoms may be relieved by sitting and may cause you to walk with a stooped forwards posture.
In the neck and chest (cervical and thoracic spine), spinal stenosis can cause symptoms of spinal cord compression such as numbness and tingling in the hands or feet, loss of hand dexterity and unsteadiness when walking.
