Chiropractic
Every day chiropractic practitioners are called upon to treat increasing numbers of aging Americans with spinal stenosis as their diagnosis for neck, back, upper and lower extremity pain. Stenosis is defined as the narrowing of a body orifice and, in the case of spine-generated pain, stenosis is caused by the following: Degenerative disc disease causing foraminal narrowing, Facet arthrosis, Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy, and Endplate hypertrophy. Combination of the above four causes coupled with underdeveloped pedicles.
