This condition most commonly occurs in the neck and the lower back.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Types of Spinal Stenosis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many types of <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/spinal-stenosis\/\">spinal stenosis<\/a> and it all depends on which sections of the spinal cord are affected by the disease. There are five sections of the spine and they are the cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx sections. Spinal stenosis most commonly affects the cervical spine and the lumbar spine.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Cervical Spinal Stenosis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Lumbar Spinal Stenosis:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back. This is the most common type of spinal stenosis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of spinal stenosis depend on which part of the spinal canal is narrowing. Sometimes, patients don\u2019t have symptoms at all. If symptoms appear, they generally get worse over time.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cervical Symptoms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Symptoms of cervical spinal stenosis generally include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A hand, arm, foot, or leg that\u2019s numb or tingling.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hand, arm, foot, or leg weakness.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty walking and balancing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/neck-pain\/\">neck pain.<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Urinary incontinence, but only in cases of severe spinal stenosis.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bowel dysfunction, such as fecal incontinence or constipation.

The most common causes of this disease are listed below.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/osteoarthritis\/\"><b>Osteoarthritis<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is basically the gradual wear and tear of your joints throughout your life. This medical condition is the most common cause of lumbar spinal stenosis and cervical spinal stenosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bone Spurs.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wear and tear on your spinal bones from osteoarthritis can lead to the development of bone spurs, which can grow into the spinal cord.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/bulging-disc\/\"><b>Herniated Disc.<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Throughout your life, the delicate cushions that serve as shock absorbers between your spinal bones will dry out. Some of the disc\u2019s soft interior material may escape due to cracks in the disc\u2019s exterior. When a disc herniates, it can push on the spinal cord or the spinal nerves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Thickened Ligaments.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Over time, the tight ligaments that hold your vertebrae together can grow rigid and thick. These swollen ligaments have the potential to protrude into the spinal canal.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Tumors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> can grow anywhere inside the spinal cord or the spinal canal. They are generally uncommon in this area of the body, but can certainly be seen in imaging tests such as an MRI or a CT scan.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Traumatic Injury.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/conditions\/car-accident-injuries\/\">car accident,<\/a> a fall, a physical assault, or even a sports injury can cause major damage to the spinal cord and spinal nerves. In time, these injuries can certainly lead to lumbar spinal stenosis or cervical spinal stenosis.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Treatment Options for Spinal Stenosis<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your healthcare provider may recommend a variety of treatment options depending on the severity of cervical or lumbar spinal stenosis. Both non-surgical and surgical treatments may relieve pressure and pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Non-Surgical Treatments<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your healthcare provider may start by prescribing anti-inflammatory medications, antidepressants, anti-seizure medications, or opioids, all of which can relieve severe pain from nerve damage and spinal stenosis. Your doctor may also recommend physical therapy, <a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/treatments\/trigger-point-injections\/\">steroid injections,<\/a> massage therapy, chiropractic care, or even acupuncture in order to relieve pain. A non-surgical treatment rarely cures spinal stenosis, but instead may improve your quality of life.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Surgical Procedures<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A variety of surgical procedures exist to improve the pain and nerve compression associated with cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis, especially if your non-surgical treatment plan hasn\u2019t been successful. Some of the most common surgical procedures include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Laminectomy:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This surgery basically discards the back of the vertebrae, also called the lamina. A laminectomy is also called a decompression surgery because it relieves the strain on the surrounding spinal nerves by providing more room for them.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Laminotomy:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This surgery only removes part of the lamina. Generally, creating a small hole is enough to relieve the pressure on the surrounding spinal nerves.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Laminoplasty:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This surgery is best for those who suffer from cervical stenosis, not lumbar stenosis, because it creates more space in the spinal canal through a lamina hinge. Surgeons will then use metal pieces to fill the gap in the spine.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Percutaneous image-guided lumbar decompression (PILD):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Patients who suffer specifically from lumbar spinal stenosis are the only ones who should undergo this minimally invasive surgery. The surgeon basically uses tiny surgical instruments to take out a piece of the thickened ligament that\u2019s causing pain behind the spinal canal. The goal is to create more space in the afflicted area so that nerves are no longer pinched. This surgery is generally performed without general anesthesia.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What is the Link Between Spinal Stenosis and Walking Problems?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lumbar spinal stenosis is more likely to cause walking problems because it can negatively affect the bundle of nerves at the bottom of your spinal cord. These nerves are called the cauda equina. The cauda equina nerves basically transmit and receive information between your pelvic area and your legs. So lumbar spinal stenosis can frequently interrupt these nerve transmissions, causing walking difficulties.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cauda Equina Syndrome<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another medical condition that can cause walking difficulties is cauda equina syndrome. Healthcare professionals consider this condition as a medical emergency. If not taken care of immediately, you could suffer permanent nerve damage. Basically, cauda equina syndrome occurs when something in the lumbar region is putting major pressure on the cauda equina nerve roots. It can cause:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Severe pain in the legs that makes it hard for you to stand or walk<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Loss of bladder or bowel control<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Numbness in your lower body, including in your inner thighs, back of your legs, anal or genital area<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lumbar spinal stenosis can certainly cause cauda equina syndrome. Other causes can include trauma, tumors, or osteoporatic vertebral fractures.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spinal Stenosis Symptoms While Walking<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, what kind of walking difficulties do lumbar spinal stenosis sufferers specifically struggle with? Some common walking difficulties include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Constant pressure and pain in the lumbar region<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Leg pain or buttocks pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tingling or numbness in the legs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weak leg muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Foot drop, which is when your foot slaps down on the ground when you walk<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may notice less pain, pressure, numbness, and weakness in the lower body when you\u2019re leaning forward. This is because any position that requires you to lean your spine forward will take pressure off your pinched nerve roots.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-29841\" src=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2321501-800x534.jpeg\" alt=\"spinal stenosis and walking problems\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" srcset=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2321501-800x534.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2321501-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2321501-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/painendshere.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/2321501.jpeg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lifestyle Factors That Can Improve Spinal Stenosis and Walking Difficulties<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While seeking professional medical advice is crucial in managing lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms, several lifestyle factors can also manage daily discomfort while walking. It\u2019s important to prioritize exercise, physical therapy, diet, sleep, and proper posture while you\u2019re struggling to walk due to this condition.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you suffer with constant pain and walking difficulties every day, the last thing you probably want to do is exercise. However, any low impact exercise is incredibly beneficial for managing lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. Specifically, exercise can:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Build stronger back muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthen your core, which ultimately supports and relieves pressure from your back\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase oxygen delivery to the connective tissues in your back through blood circulation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduce inflammation due to increased blood circulation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Increase flexibility everywhere in the body, even in your back and spine<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhance bodily range of motion<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important to note that the best exercise for lumbar spinal stenosis is exercise that doesn\u2019t cause even more back strain and pressure. So consider these types of exercise:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Walking, as long as it doesn\u2019t cause even more pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Biking<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swimming or water aerobics<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When suffering from a chronic condition like lumbar spinal stenosis, rest is just as important as exercise. Make sure your body feels rested enough for daily movement, or you may not experience as many benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Physical Therapy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/treatments\/therapies\/\">Physical therapy<\/a> was mentioned previously as a non-surgical treatment option for spinal stenosis symptom management. But a physical therapist can also teach you how to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve your walking difficulties, such as foot drop<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengthen your back, core, and leg muscles<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stretch appropriately<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Improve mobility so that you can exercise daily<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Implementing all of the recommendations from your physical therapist can also help you prevent further injury.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diet<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/painendshere.com\/treatments\/\">A healthy, balanced diet<\/a> benefits every single system, bone, and muscle group in the human body. A lifetime of healthy eating can help prevent a multitude of chronic illnesses and diseases. Additionally, the proper foods give you the energy you need to exercise regularly so that you can manage your lumbar spinal stenosis symptoms. Make sure to eat plenty of:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vegetables and fruits<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grains and legumes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthy animal proteins<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Healthy fats<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, avoid consuming too much alcohol, refined sugars, and highly processed foods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sleep<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A study from the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31972570\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NIH<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> claims that 63.5% of lumbar spinal stenosis sufferers also struggle with poor sleep. Additionally, the study claims that poor sleep can exacerbate preexisting pain and discomfort from this condition. Therefore, you must prioritize good quality sleep in order to manage pain and promote healing. Listed below are some tips to improve your sleep quality:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get into the habit of going to sleep and waking up at the same time every day. This will get your body into a routine and eventually cause you to feel sleepy at the same time every night.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid watching TV or looking at your phone right before bed time. Screens emit lots of blue light which can prevent proper melatonin production.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exercise most days of the week. At least 30 minutes of movement is enough to \u201cwear you out\u201d and make you feel sleepy at the end of the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stop drinking caffeine four to six hours before bed time so that your body will feel sleepy instead of jittery and energized at the end of the day.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy a comfortable mattress that doesn\u2019t make your back pain worse while you sleep.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Posture<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good posture is also essential for managing pain while walking. Slouching can cause even more pain and pressure in your lumbar region, so make sure to stand up straight with your shoulders pulled back. Also, hold your head and neck straight. Make sure you\u2019re not craning your neck forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call The Pain Relief Center Today<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re suffering from cervical or lumbar spinal stenosis, doctors at The Pain Relief Center want to ensure that you can have the best quality of life possible.
