Overview
Spinal stenosis occurs when arthritis, disc bulges, or ligament thickening narrow the spinal canal. Nerves become crowded, leading to heaviness, tingling, or burning in the legs—a pattern called neurogenic claudication. Sitting or leaning forward may relieve symptoms, but lasting improvement comes from identifying and treating the cause.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should spinal stenosis be evaluated?
If walking is limited to 100 yards or less before pain or heaviness, schedule a same-day evaluation. See Spinal Fusion and Lumbar Decompression.
Can stenosis improve without surgery?
Yes—posture training, activity modification, and injections relieve many patients. See PT & Rehab.
What are selective nerve-root blocks?
A fluoroscopy-guided injection that targets a specific compressed nerve root to confirm diagnosis and provide relief. See Epidural Injections.
When is surgery required?
If symptoms persist despite therapy and injections, or if weakness progresses, minimally invasive decompression restores space and relieves pressure. See Lumbar Laminectomy.
Will I need a fusion with decompression?
Only if you have instability (spondylolisthesis or slippage). Less than 20% of patients need fusion. See Spondylolisthesis.
How soon can I return to activity after surgery?
Many patients resume walking within days and gradually increase activity over 4–6 weeks. See Non-Surgical Therapies.
