- 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
I’ve been dealing with this weird left sided neck pain for two years now. I’ve done it all. I’ve done massage, heat, cold, cupping, traditional chiro, and physical therapy. Nothing was helping so I went to good ole tik tok and heard about the cervical atlas. I knew immediately this was my issue so I researched local providers who specialized in this and Dr. Lea stood out the most to me as he really seems to exhibit the most knowledge and expertise. So glad I chose him! Staff have always been super kind and helpful. My consult was very detailed and never felt rushed. I just finally felt heard. After X-rays and determining I did indeed have a misalignment with my atlas as well as a cervical compression. I agreed to 12 treatments and after the 1st I already felt better. In conjunction with changing some life style habits I’ve really really had such success with much less pain. I highly recommend Dr Lea! You won’t be disappointed!
