Spinal stenosis is a common spinal condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal or neural foramina, leading to compression of the spinal cord or nerves. At Align Health, we understand the impact of spinal stenosis on your daily life, and our compassionate team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to providing comprehensive management strategies to alleviate your discomfort and enhance your mobility.
Understanding Spinal Stenosis:
Spinal stenosis can occur in different regions of the spine, including the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) areas. The narrowing of the spinal canal or foramina can result from age-related degeneration, herniated discs, bone spurs, or other spinal conditions.
Comprehensive Evaluation:
At Align Health, we begin the management process by conducting a thorough evaluation of your spinal stenosis. Our experienced healthcare providers will review your medical history, perform a physical examination, and may request imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans to assess the extent of stenosis and its impact on the spinal structures.
Personalized Treatment Plan:
Based on the evaluation, we will create a tailored treatment plan that may include a combination of the following approaches:
Chiropractic Care: Gentle adjustments can help improve spinal alignment, relieve pressure on compressed nerves, and reduce pain.
Physical Therapy: Customized exercises and stretches will be prescribed to strengthen the surrounding muscles, improve flexibility, and support the spine.
Pain Management: We may incorporate various pain-relieving techniques such as heat or cold therapy, electrical stimulation, or ultrasound to provide relief from discomfort.
Spinal Decompression: This non-surgical technique can help alleviate pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and promote healing.
Lifestyle Modifications: We may provide guidance on maintaining proper posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle changes to manage your condition effectively.
Support and Education:
We believe in empowering you with knowledge about your spinal stenosis. Throughout your journey with Align Health, we will provide valuable information and support to help you better understand your condition and make informed decisions about your treatment.
