- 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
Dr Lea and all the staff at Crossroads Brain and Spine are great, hospitable, and pleasant to work with, they treat you with respect and honor and genuinely concerned with your well being.
I wanted to try to avoid traditional medical practices because of the risks involved with bad side effects(meds and medical procedures), I went to Dr Lea for help with my neck and the treatment he did for me, did help. I’m about 40-45% better than what I was, my pain levels were 9 to 10 on a scale of 1-10, and now my pain levels for my neck are not higher than seven, and my new normal seems to be between 4 to 6 with an average of 5, whenever I go for a treatment, it’s usually 1-3 the following day and sometimes the day after that(3rd day), but I’m older, and have done alot of hard work in my life(abused/overworked my body) so I can’t expect alot,
but Crossroads comes highly recommended…
