Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the space within your spine, which can put pressure on the surrounding nerves that travel through the spine. Spinal stenosis occurs most often in the lower back and neck. Some patients may experience symptoms including pain, tingling, numbness, and muscle weakness. Symptoms can worsen over time if treatment is not sought out. Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by use and changes within the spine related to osteoarthritis. The types of spinal stenosis are based on where the spine condition occurs. It is possible to have more than one type. The two main types of spinal stenosis are: • Cervical stenosis Cervical stenosis is the narrowing that occurs in the part of the spine in your neck. • Lumbar stenosis Lumbar stenosis is the narrowing that occurs in the part of the spine in your lower back. This is one of the most common forms of spinal stenosis. For nerve pain caused by spinal stenosis, radiofrequency ablation can be effective for as long as 12 months.
