Valley Cottage, NY -- (SBWire) -- 09/01/2016 --Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal column and mainly occurs from a combination of aging and degenerative changes in the spine. This puts pressure on the spinal cord and the spinal nerve roots, and may cause pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs. Spinal stenosis mostly affects people above 60 years of age but can also occur in younger people born with the abnormal spinal canal. Lumbar spinal stenosis, cervical spinal stenosis and thoracic spinal stenosis are the three main types of spinal stenosis. About 75% of the cases of spinal stenosis occurs in the lower lumbar region. The primary symptoms associated with spinal stenosis are radiculopathy and myelopathy. Myelopathy is of greater concern as pressure on the spinal cord can lead to permanent spinal cord damage. Diagnosis of spinal stenosis involves the complete evaluation of spine. The most common diagnostic test for spinal stenosis are MRI scan and X-ray. In some cases CT scan can be conducted in order to diagnose the condition. Spinal stenosis treatment can be conservative or surgical depending upon the severity of the disease.
