Spinal Stenosis in Fort Collins
Spinal stenosis can make walking and standing painful, but non-surgical care may help you move farther and more comfortably.
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces in the spine that can pinch nerves and cause leg pain, heaviness and numbness. Non-surgical care aims to relieve that pressure and improve your comfort.
What is spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis means the channels that carry your nerves have narrowed, often with age, which can crowd and irritate the nerves.
A hallmark is leg pain or heaviness that eases when you sit or lean forward. Non-surgical care can help you do more with less discomfort.
