Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of spaces within the spine, which puts pressure on the nerves traveling through the spinal canal. This condition is usually caused by degenerative changes such as arthritis, herniated discs, or thickened ligaments, and most commonly affects the cervical (neck) and lumbar spine regions. For individuals seeking comprehensive spine care, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms and prevent progression. Advanced imaging tests are often used to diagnose spinal stenosis and guide treatment.
