Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spaces within the spine become narrowed, putting pressure on the spinal cord or nearby nerves. This narrowing most commonly occurs in the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine) and often develops gradually over time. Age-related changes such as arthritis, thickened ligaments, disc degeneration, or bone spurs are frequent causes, though spinal stenosis can also result from injury or congenital factors.
Symptoms of spinal stenosis vary depending on the location and severity of the narrowing. Some people experience back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs, while others may notice pain or cramping when standing or walking that improves with rest or bending forward.
