Redondo Beach Chiropractor Explains Spinal Stenosis

Chiropractic Redondo Beach CA Spinal Stenosis

Drs. Richard Cohen, Rob Josefsson, and Paul Newhouse provide quality chiropractic care to our patients in the Redondo Beach, CA, area. At Catalina Medical Center, we provide treatment for a variety of conditions, including Spinal Stenosis. This spinal condition happens when the open spaces within the spine start to narrow. Contact our office to learn more about spinal stenosis and how it’s treated.

Spinal stenosis begins with the bordering structures of the spinal canal moving away from their desired positions. This limits the appropriate amount of space on the spine. There are a few contributing factors to this development. Growing older is one of them. As we age, the discs between each vertebra begin to shrink. Thickened ligaments also occur. These produce spurs that grow into the spinal canal. Other spinal conditions also put you at risk for spinal stenosis. This includes arthritis, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and spondylolisthesis.

The biggest and most common symptom is back pain, especially when it travels throughout the extremities. Because the condition is putting immense pressure on the spine, it’s pinching and irritating the various nerves. You may also experience neck pain that radiates into the arms. Less common symptoms are numbness and tingling in the hands and feet, weakness, and pain while walking. Your Redondo Beach chiropractor will diagnose you based on your medical history and any imaging scans.

Your treatment plan depends entirely on you. It will be personalized to meet your exact needs. Different options include chiropractic adjustments, decompression therapy, and postural corrections.
