More often, the narrowing is caused by arthritis, which comes on as people age. The nerves can be pinched as they are caught between the bones, when the space they travel out of gets too narrow. This will lead to pain, weakness, and loss of sensation in the back, buttocks or legs. It is important to know the cause of any back pain. Your healthcare provider will help you determine what is wrong and assist you in your recovery.
Prevention is the key to spinal health.
Exercise, and good posture can postpone arthritis. Learning correct lifting techniques can prevent injuries. Protecting the back is important to staying active. All Rights Reserved.
