Spinal stenosis is a significant cause of disability in older adults.<\/h2>\n

The condition creates a narrowing of the spinal canal, which then restricts the spinal cord and nearby nerves resulting in painful symptoms.<\/p>\n

By the time a person reaches the age of 60, there is nearly a 20% risk of acquiring lumbar spinal stenosis<\/a> \u2014 with the incidence increasing with age. Spinal stenosis is also a leading cause of spinal surgery in patients over the age of 65.<\/p>\n

Chronic back pain can indicate a wide variety of spinal conditions, which is why you need an accurate diagnosis. The surgeons at Desert Institute for Spine Care are leaders in minimally invasive spine care and can help relieve the pain caused by spinal stenosis.
