Spinal Stenosis causing Back & Neck Pain

It is not just advancing age that you can cause you to have spinal stenosis related back pain. Back pain is an early sign that you may have spinal stenosis. Clinically spinal stenosis is three things. Joint pain is one part of spinal stenosis, the other contributing factors are lack of mobility and thickening of the tissue around the spinal column. The difficult part of stenosis is when it leads to myelopathy where the spinal cord actually chokes due to the closed opening. Stenosis is when you have a opening that has become narrowed. Perhaps a good way to think of stenosis is in heart attacks. The arteries become blocked or stenotic and that causes the heart to not get enough blood flow resulting in a heart attack. Loose tissue can be another cause of stenosis in the spine. The extra tissue bundles around the spine almost choking it. Here is where spinal decompression can open and expand the disc to tighten up the loose tissue.
