Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spaces within the spine become narrower and may put pressure on the spinal cord or nerves. It can occur in different parts of the spine, although it is commonly seen in the lower back and neck.
People searching for spinal stenosis treatment in Hojai, Assam can consult NEURO POLYCLINIC at Mikir Basti Road, Danki Gaon, Hojai.
The spinal canal contains important nerves and, depending on the location, the spinal cord. When the available space becomes narrowed, nerves can sometimes become compressed.
Symptoms depend on the location and severity of the narrowing.
Possible symptoms include:
Back or neck pain
Pain extending into the legs or arms
Numbness or tingling
Weakness
Difficulty walking or standing for long periods
Problems with balance or movement
Some people with spinal stenosis may have few or no symptoms.
A medical consultation can help assess symptoms and determine whether spinal stenosis or another spinal condition may be contributing to the problem.
The assessment may include a discussion of your symptoms and medical history, followed by a physical and neurological examination. When required, the doctor may recommend imaging or other investigations.
At NEURO POLYCLINIC, Dr. Shahrukh Khan Bahadur, MBBS, Fellowship in Neuro, provides medical consultation for neurological and related musculoskeletal conditions.

When spinal stenosis affects the lower back, some people may develop pain, numbness or weakness in the legs.
Symptoms can sometimes become more noticeable while standing or walking and improve after sitting or changing position.
Persistent or worsening symptoms should be medically assessed to determine the underlying cause.
Spinal narrowing can also occur in the neck. When the spinal cord is affected, symptoms may involve the arms, legs, balance or coordination.
Changes such as increasing weakness, difficulty walking, loss of coordination or significant changes in hand function should be evaluated promptly.
Management depends on the location and severity of the condition, the symptoms and the patient's overall health.
Depending on the clinical findings, management may involve medical care, activity advice, rehabilitation, pain management or further investigation. Some patients may require assessment by another specialist.
There is no single treatment that is appropriate for every person with spinal stenosis.
