Spinal stenosis is a condition that implies an abnormal narrowing of the spinal canal, which may occur on any of the regions on the spine. This can cause many disturbing symptoms such as pain, numbness, paraesthesia, and loss of motor control.<\/p>\n
Depending on where the narrowing exists, an area of the body will be affected; there are two types of spinal stenosis: cervical stenosis and lumbar stenosis, with cervical spinal stenosis being more risky as it compresses the spinal cord, which may cause paralysis.
