Lumbar Spinal Stenosis Clinic
in Thorold, St Catharines
Understanding Lumbar Spinal Stenosis
Lumbar spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal in your lower back narrows, putting pressure on the nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness in your lower back, legs, and buttocks.
Our Approach to Treatment
We offer a multi-faceted treatment plan for lumbar spinal stenosis, addressing both the symptoms and underlying causes. Dr. Driscoll combines chiropractic care with manual therapy and specialized rehabilitation techniques to provide comprehensive relief. Our approach includes targeted exercises to improve strength and flexibility, postural training to reduce spinal strain, and personalized strategies for long-term management.
Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms
Lumbar spinal stenosis can manifest in various ways, often developing gradually over time. Common symptoms include:
- Lower back pain or a feeling of tightness
- Leg pain, numbness, or tingling (sciatica)
- Weakness or heaviness in the legs
- Pain relief when bending forward or sitting
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek professional care to prevent further progression and maintain your quality of life. If you have any of these symptoms or have been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis, Driscoll Chiropractic Care Clinic offers hope. Dr. Driscoll employs the Spinal Stenosis Boot Camp Program that was developed by Dr. Carlo Ammendolia at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.
The Importance of Patient Education
Dr. Driscoll will also take the time to explain your condition and provide you with the tools you need to manage it at home. This includes guidance on proper posture, exercises you can do at home, and lifestyle modifications to support your spinal health. By taking an active role in your treatment, you can experience lasting relief and improved overall well-being.
