Primary Neurological Conditions
Spinal stenosis is a condition in which the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord. This can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs and back. Spinal stenosis is most common in older adults, but it can also be caused by injuries or birth defects. Treatment for spinal stenosis may include physical therapy, weight loss, pain medication, and surgery.

Spinal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal column narrows and compresses parts of the spine. This can cause chronic pain, numbness, weakness, fatigue and other symptoms. At Gulf Coast Brain and Spine Center our team of experienced neurosurgeons specialize in treating spinal stenosis and helping patients find relief from this condition.
In many cases, conservative treatment methods like physical therapy and medications can be helpful for those suffering. Our specialists can also advise on lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight and learning specific exercises to help reduce back pain. In some cases, minimally invasive surgery may be necessary to relieve pressure on the nerves or relieve pain caused by compression of the spinal cord.
