What is spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the spinal
canal, which leads to pressure on the spinal cord
and nerves. These changes can cause pain and
other symptoms. Stenosis can affect a small or large
section of the spinal column. Degenerative changes
occur in the spine as a result of the ageing process.
The ligaments that support the spinal column
become harder and thicker. The bones and joints
can become deformed and compress the spinal
nerves even further.
