- Spinal stenosis is when the neural canal, also called the spinal canal, is narrowed. When this occurs, there is pressure that is placed on the millions of nerves running through the spine. There are many factors that can be attributed to spinal stenosis such as: excessive bone growth, thickening of the soft tissues within the canal like ligaments / cartilage, or even a herniated disc.
- This narrowing can distort the nerves within the spine causing pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the lower extremity (buttocks, legs, feet). This commonly occurs in the lumbar spine. Prior to any treatment of the spine (Upper Cervical Spinal Correction or Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression) a thorough diagnostic examination will be performed to create a customized and comprehensive plan of care.
Testimonials
So grateful to Dr Lea and his staff for their excellent care over the course of my decompression treatments. I have had so much relief from all of my symptoms and am feeling so much better than when I first started this journey. For me, getting the results I was hoping for came pretty slowly for a while, but I would highly encourage others to trust the process! Healing takes time and is definitely worth the wait. I started seeing some mild positive changes about halfway through, but it wasn’t until my 24th treatment that I suddenly saw a major turn around and my symptoms diminished drastically. Definitely hang in there and stay consistent with showing up for treatments. It is so worth it! I highly recommend Dr Lea and the DXR-9000 method of decompression.
