Comprehensive Care for Spinal Stenosis
At NovaSpine Pain Institute, we specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of spinal stenosis, a condition that can lead to significant discomfort and limitations in daily activities. Our dedicated team of interventional pain management specialists is committed to providing personalized care tailored to your specific needs.
Understanding Spinal Stenosis
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal, which can put pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This condition often occurs in the lower back (lumbar stenosis) or neck (cervical stenosis) and can result from various factors, including:
- Degenerative Changes: Age-related wear and tear on the spine, including arthritis and degenerative disc disease.
- Herniated Discs: Discs that bulge or rupture can encroach on the spinal canal.
- Bone Spurs: Overgrowth of bone in response to arthritis can contribute to narrowing.
- Congenital Factors: Some individuals are born with a naturally narrow spinal canal.
Symptoms of spinal stenosis may include:
- Pain: Often in the back, neck, or legs, which may worsen with activity.
- Numbness or Tingling: Sensations may radiate into the arms or legs.
- Weakness: Muscle weakness in the extremities can occur.
- Balance Issues: Difficulty walking or maintaining balance.
Our Approach to Treatment
At NovaSpine, we take a comprehensive approach to managing spinal stenosis. Our treatment options may include:
1. Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with an in-depth assessment, including a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging (such as MRI or CT scans) to identify the source of your ongoing pain.
2. Pain Management Techniques: Our goal is to provide effective pain relief using various modalities:
- Epidural Steroid Injections: To reduce inflammation and alleviate pain in the affected areas.
- Nerve Blocks: Targeting specific nerves to interrupt pain signals
3. Physical Therapy: Our rehabilitation team will develop a tailored exercise program designed to improve strength, flexibility, and overall function while minimizing pain.
4. Medications: We may prescribe a variety of medications, including anti-inflammatories, pain relievers, and nerve pain agents, to help manage your symptoms.
5. Psychological Support: Living with chronic pain can take a toll on mental health. Our team may recommend counseling or cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you cope with the emotional aspects of FBSS.
6. Surgical Considerations: In some cases, further surgical intervention may be necessary. Our specialists will evaluate whether additional procedures could help address the persistent pain.
