Spinal Stenosis

Spinal stenosis is simply the narrowing of the spinal canal. It occurs most commonly in the lumbar region of the spinal column, but it may also occur in the neck region. This narrowing leads to nerve compression which can cause excruciatingly painful nerve and spinal cord impingement.
