- 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 visited Dr. Lea in December 2025 barely able to walk. I had gone through physical therapy, massage therapy and chiropractic care…none of which had a positive lasting effect. I finally got a MRI that showed a disc problem. Dr. Lea provided an honest assessment of my condition and was confident that his program could help me heal. Fast forward to May 2026, my back is 60% better and working toward continual improvement. I can now do basic activities such as grocery shopping without getting winded every 5 minutes. I can climb stairs normally. Dr. Lea didn’t over promise or under deliver. His program isn’t a money grab. With consistency from me, he and his team have improved my quality of life. To Dr. Lea, Nicole, Hannah…I’m sure I’m forgetting someone unintentionally…THANK YOU!
