Does Pain From Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Limit How Long You Can Stand Or Walk?

Hi, I'm Dr. Dave Candy, owner of More 4 Life.

Does pain in your back or legs from lumbar spinal stenosis limit you from standing or walking after just a short amount of time?

Maybe you've had a friend, neighbor, parent, or spouse who had spinals stenosis and had to watch them painful lose their mobility and quality of life... or undergo a risky back surgery with no guarantee for improvement.

And now you're worried that you might be approaching the same fate.

Maybe your doctor has even told you that you you're "just getting older" and you'll have to deal with it, or have injections or surgery to relieve the pain.

But we see proof to the contrary almost every single day in our office.

Spinal Stenosis Is Incredibly Common As You Age

Therefore, as a clinic who specializes primarily in treating people over the age of 50, we see A LOT of cases of spinal stenosis.

With lumbar spinal stenosis, you may experience symptoms such as:

• Back and leg pain
• Numbness and tingling in the legs
• Feeling clumsy or off-balance
• Having trouble walking long (or short) distances
• Weakness in your legs or a "drop-foot"

And that's because when you have "stenosis" that literally means a "narrowing" of the spaces around your nerves.

That's usually something that you'll get diagnosed with after having an MRI.

But the good news is: 

Your MRI does NOT determine whether or not you'll be able to recover from spinal stenosis.

After all, an MRI is just a static picture in time when you're lying in a tube.

It doesn't give an indication of your current or future ability to decrease take pressure off your nerves, reduce pain, and be able to stand and walk longer.

But after working with hundreds of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, I can confidently tell you that MOST people are able to relieve their pain and improve their mobility without surgery.

And it doesn't require living on pain pills, getting injections, or doing hours of exercise everyday.

Often just a few simple changes can make an enormous difference in your pain, function and quality of life.

But each person is different, so those changes aren't necessarily the same for every single person

However, if you'd like to find out what YOU can do to get relief from your spinal stenosis symptoms without relying on pain pills, injections, or surgery, then we'd love to help you.

Our board-certified and fellowship-trained orthopedic manual physical therapists are have specialized training in hands-on techniques to help relieve your pain FAST, sometimes as soon as the first visit.

More importantly though, we can help you identify what you need to do to relieve your pain, improve your mobility and balance, and keep your symptoms from coming back in the future.

And even though we're physical therapists, that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll have to do a bunch of exercises.

We focus on treating you as a whole person and getting you back to the goals that you choose.

Some things that our spinal stenosis patients have gotten back to include:

• Walking for exercise
• Golfing
• Playing pickleball
• Traveling
• Hiking
• Chasing their grandchildren
• Being able to do their household chores without constantly having to stop and sit down.

...and more.
