Spinal Stenosis Relief in Carrollwood and Greater Tampa

Spinal stenosis can slowly rob you of your ability to move comfortably, stand for long periods, or enjoy activities you once loved. Whether you’re feeling numbness in your legs, struggling with lower back pain, or dealing with nerve symptoms that come and go, you’re not alone. At HealthSpine Chiropractic in Carrollwood, we help patients across Tampa Bay better understand and manage spinal stenosis with modern, conservative care. Our goal is to reduce pressure on the nerves and improve function over time, without jumping straight to injections or surgery.

What Is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is a condition where the space inside the spinal canal becomes narrowed. This narrowing puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots. It’s most common in the cervical (neck) and lumbar (lower back) regions and often occurs as a result of age-related changes like arthritis, disc degeneration, or thickened ligaments.

Some people have spinal stenosis and don’t know it. Others develop symptoms that gradually worsen over time.

Common Causes of Spinal Stenosis

• Degenerative disc disease
• Herniated or bulging discs
• Arthritis or bone spurs
• Thickening of spinal ligaments
• Spinal injuries or post-surgical scarring
• Congenital narrowing of the spinal canal
• Prior spinal fusion or vertebral instability

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

Symptoms depend on the location and severity of nerve compression. They may come and go or worsen with certain activities.

Lumbar (Low Back) Stenosis:

• Pain or cramping in the legs when walking or standing
• Numbness or tingling in the buttocks or legs
• Weakness or heaviness in the legs
• Relief when sitting, leaning forward, or pushing a shopping cart
• Lower back pain that worsens with standing

Cervical (Neck) Stenosis:

• Neck pain and stiffness
• Radiating pain into the shoulders, arms, or hands
• Arm or hand weakness
• Difficulty with coordination or balance
• In rare cases, loss of bladder or bowel control (a medical emergency)

How Is Spinal Stenosis Diagnosed?

Diagnosis usually involves a combination of:

• Reviewing your health history and symptom pattern
• Performing a physical exam to assess reflexes, strength, and range of motion
• Reviewing imaging such as MRI or CT scans to examine the spinal canal
