Having stenosis is a common problem, but it’s not something you should accept.
Many people have tried to rest, take some pills, and hope that it goes away. However, in nearly all cases, it becomes worse and more frequent until it’s taking over your life.
But there are natural ways to relieve stenosis, and get back to living a happy, and active lifestyle without stiffness and discomfort when you move.
What Is Stenosis?
Imagine your spine as this long, winding road that’s meant for nerve signals to zip through, kind of like cars on a road. Now, think about what happens when something starts to obstruct that road, maybe because of natural wear and tear, or maybe your family’s history has this quirky kink where roads tend to get narrow. This whole blocking scenario is what we call spinal stenosis, and it’s something you’d usually find happening in the neck or the lower back area.
So, this road narrows down because of a few reasons. You could have bones starting to stick out more than they used to, or the spinal discs decide they want a bit more room, taking the space that’s supposed to be clear. Picture this like a street during a parade; everyone’s squeezed in, trying to get the best view, and then suddenly, you can’t move without bumping into someone. That’s your nerves right now. They’re getting pressed on all sides because there’s just not enough room for you to move freely. It’s a bit like being stuck in traffic where you can’t even change the radio station because you’re so wedged into the middle. That’s what causes the whole range of discomfort, from pain to tingling, because those nerve signals are getting mixed up in all that congestion.
Why Do many patients receive a stenosis diagnosis based on x-ray results?
A lot of patients will come in with a diagnosis of stenosis from their physician based on x-ray results, which must be the reason why their back is hurting.
But the important thing to look at is why this stenosis developed in the first place – this is the reason for the pain, and Mike works to understand this.
