Lumbar Canal

Lumbar canal stenosis is a degenerative condition where the spinal canal in the lower back narrows, compressing the spinal nerves. This can cause lower back pain, leg pain, numbness, and weakness. If you are searching for expert lumbar canal stenosis treatment in Mumbai, D Spine Clinic offers advanced, patient-centered care using both non-surgical and surgical methods.

What Is Lumbar Canal Stenosis?

Lumbar canal stenosis is a degenerative spine condition where the spinal canal narrows in the lower back, compressing the spinal nerves. This leads to pain, numbness, and difficulty walking. It’s commonly seen in individuals over 50 and can significantly affect mobility and quality of life.
Lumbar canal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal narrows due to:

  • Age-related degeneration of spinal discs and facet joints
  • Herniated discs pushing into the canal
  • Bone spurs or osteophytes
  • Thickened ligaments compressing nerves

This narrowing can lead to nerve compression, resulting in pain, tingling, or weakness in the legs. Our Mumbai spine clinic specializes in diagnosing and treating both mild and severe cases.

Key Symptoms of Lumbar Canal Stenosis

If you have Lumbar Canal Stenosis, you may experience:

  • Chronic Lower Back Pain: Persistent pain localized in the lumbar region.
  • Radiating Leg Pain (Sciatica): Numbness, tingling, or shooting pain that travels from the buttock down the back of the leg and calf.
  • Leg Weakness and Cramping: A feeling of heaviness or cramping in the legs, making walking distances difficult.
  • Relief with Position: Symptoms typically improve when sitting or leaning forward (the “shopping cart sign”), as this posture temporarily opens the spinal canal.
  • Serious Symptoms: Severe, sudden weakness or loss of bladder/bowel control is a rare emergency requiring immediate attention from a Spine Specialist.

How is Lumbar Canal Stenosis Diagnosed?

At D Spine Clinic uses advanced diagnostic tools to confirm lumbar canal stenosis:

  • X-rays to assess bone structure
  • MRI scans to visualize nerve compression
  • CT scans for detailed spinal imaging
  • Myelograms to highlight spinal canal narrowing

Comprehensive Treatment Options for Lumbar Stenosis

Non-Surgical Treatment
Many patients benefit from conservative management:

  • Physiotherapy & exercises to strengthen back and core muscles
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory and nerve pain relief
  • Epidural steroid injections for inflammation and pain control

Surgical Treatment
Surgery is recommended when conservative care fails or neurological symptoms worsen:

  • Laminectomy: Removing part of the vertebra to relieve nerve pressure
  • Spinal fusion: Stabilizing the spine
  • Foraminotomy: Enlarging nerve exit spaces
  • Minimally invasive spine surgery (MIS) for faster recovery

Our Mumbai spine surgeons specialize in advanced and minimally invasive techniques to ensure optimal outcomes.
