What is Spinal Stenosis, and What Causes it?<\/h2>\n

The condition of spinal stenosis is common, affecting 11% of adults over the age of 60<\/a>. Recent US studies have found that approximately 20% of older adults have evidence of spinal stenosis witnessed on imaging scans; however, more than 80% of adults have no symptoms or require treatment.<\/p>\n\n \n \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n \t\t\t<\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n \t<\/div>\n\n \n \t\n <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n

Lumbar spinal stenosis, or spinal canal narrowing, is a common cause of low back pain.
\nYour low back (lumbar spine) consists of five vertebrae between your ribs and pelvis. Lumbar spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which compresses the spinal cord and exiting nerves that travel from your back into your legs.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
