In this video, Dr. Grant Cooper from the Princeton Spine and Joint Center discusses Lumbar Stenosis, a common spinal condition causing back and leg pain, numbness, tingling, and weakness. He explains that Lumbar Stenosis is often a result of narrowing of the spinal nerve passageways, leading to nerve irritation and inflammation. Dr. Cooper distinguishes between two types of Lumbar Stenosis, central and foraminal, and explores its various causes, including herniated discs and facet joint arthritis. He elaborates on symptoms, diagnostic tests, and a range of treatment options, from conservative measures like physical therapy and epidural steroid injections to surgical interventions, emphasizing the importance of addressing the underlying biomechanics for longterm spine health.
