Can Physiotherapy help with Spinal Stenonis?
Do you have low back pain when you stand for too long? Do you have more then 50 candles on your birthday cake? Do you often find yourself resting on the handle of a shopping cart or taking frequent breaks on benches while walking?
You might have spinal stenosis!
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the canals that the nerves travel through in the low back. This is often the result of very slow degeneration over years of use. Stenosis is often found in people who cannot stand for long periods of time (due to low back pain) and in those over the age of 50.
Although the stenosis cannot be removed, there is hope for symptom reduction.
At MOMENTUM Physical Therapy in Okotoks, we help people overcome their stenosis symptoms with education, hands on therapy, and specific exercises for stenosis.
If you are dealing with low back pain that sounds like it may be stenosis, call MOMENTUM Physical Therapy today at 403-982-5600 to find out how we can get you “back” to what you love!
