San Diego Spinal Stenosis Treatment
If you’re living with spinal stenosis, you know how debilitating the pain and discomfort can be. At The Spinal Decompression & Chiropractic Center of San Diego, we specialize in offering non-surgical solutions, such as Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD), to help alleviate pain and restore mobility. Let’s explore what spinal stenosis is, how it develops, and how we approach treatment.
What Is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within your spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This condition most commonly affects the neck (cervical spine) or lower back (lumbar spine) and can cause:
- Pain or stiffness in the back or neck.
- Numbness or tingling in the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
- Weakness in the extremities.
- Difficulty walking or maintaining balance.
How Does Spinal Stenosis Develop?
Spinal stenosis often develops over time due to:
- Degenerative Changes: Wear and tear associated with aging can lead to bone spurs, herniated discs, or thickened ligaments that narrow the spinal canal.
- Arthritis: Conditions like osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can contribute to stenosis.
- Injuries: Trauma to the spine can accelerate narrowing.
- Genetics: Some people are born with a naturally narrow spinal canal, which predisposes them to stenosis.
These factors combine to compress the spinal cord or nerve roots, causing pain and limiting mobility.
How Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Can Help
Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression works by gently stretching the spine to relieve pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. Using advanced technology like the DRX 9000, this treatment helps:
- Create space in the spine to reduce nerve compression.
- Improve blood flow and nutrient delivery to damaged discs.
- Decrease pain and inflammation in affected areas.
For many patients, this approach provides significant relief without the need for surgery.
When Surgery Is Necessary
While NSSD is highly effective for many cases of spinal stenosis, not every patient is a candidate. In cases where there are severe neurological symptoms, such as bowel or bladder dysfunction, or when the condition has progressed beyond what conservative care can address, surgery may be necessary.
At our office, we prioritize your health and safety above all else. If we determine that surgical intervention is your best option, we will refer you to a trusted specialist.
