What causes spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis typically develops gradually over time as the spine undergoes natural age-related changes. While aging is a common factor, several conditions can contribute to the narrowing of the spinal canal, including:
✔️ Arthritis and bone spurs
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Herniated or bulging discs
✔️ Thickened spinal ligaments
✔️ Previous injuries or spinal changes
As the spinal canal narrows, it can place pressure on nearby nerves—leading to pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or difficulty walking.
In Part 2 of our series, we explain the most common causes of spinal stenosis and why identifying the underlying issue is essential for choosing the right treatment.
If you're experiencing persistent back pain, leg pain, or symptoms that worsen when standing or walking, don't ignore them. Early evaluation may help you find relief before your condition progresses.
📩 Schedule a consultation today to learn what's causing your symptoms and explore your non-surgical treatment options.

What actually causes sciatica?
Many people think sciatica is a diagnosis—but it's actually a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve.
Some of the most common causes include:
✔️ Herniated or bulging discs
✔️ Degenerative disc disease
✔️ Spinal stenosis
✔️ Bone spurs or arthritis
✔️ Inflammation putting pressure on the nerve
Understanding the source of your sciatica is the key to finding the right treatment and long-term relief.
In Part 2 of our series, we explain what may be causing your pain and why a proper evaluation is so important before choosing a treatment plan.
If you're experiencing pain that radiates down your leg, numbness, tingling, or weakness, don't ignore it. There may be non-surgical options that can help.

Is it back pain… or could it be sciatica?
Sciatica isn't actually a condition—it's a symptom caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the longest nerve in the body.
Common symptoms include:
✔️ Pain that radiates from the lower back into the buttock or leg
✔️ Numbness or tingling
✔️ Burning or shooting pain
✔️ Weakness in the leg or foot
In this video, we explain what sciatica is, what causes it, and why getting the correct diagnosis is the first step toward lasting relief.
You don't have to live with the pain. If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, a comprehensive evaluation can help identify the underlying cause and determine the best treatment options.
