Publisher's Synopsis
Spinal stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spaces within your spine, which can put pressure on the nerves that travel through the spine. This can lead to pain, numbness, muscle weakness, and problems with bladder or bowel function. It's a debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide. In the United States alone, an estimated 250,000 to 500,000 people are living with spinal stenosis, with prevalence increasing with age.
Left unmanaged, spinal stenosis can severely impact quality of life. Chronic pain and decreased mobility can lead to a sedentary lifestyle, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and muscle atrophy. It can also contribute to mental health issues like depression and anxiety due to the ongoing discomfort and reduced independence.
