Spinal Stenosis
Modern MedicalSpinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that squeezes the spinal cord or the nerve roots leaving it. In the lower back, it typically causes pain, heaviness, tingling or weakness in the legs on walking, which eases on sitting or bending forward. In the neck it can affect the arms and balance. At AVN Arogya, spinal stenosis is assessed and treated within our spine care.
