Spinal stenosis is a condition where parts of the spine become narrowed and can cause pain. Stenosis can be found in different areas of the body, though it’s more common in the lower part of the spine. Lumbar spinal stenosis and cervical spinal stenosis produce similar symptoms, but will feel different depending on where they occur. If a disc has become herniated, it will usually cause pain around the spine and may be more common in the back than the upper back area.

Spinal stenosis is a condition that does not manifest overnight. Its causes are complex, and include genetic conditions like scoliosis and degeneration of the spine from aging or injury. Other causes of spinal stenosis include arthritis, bulging or herniated discs and other conditions which cause wear-and-tear on the spine, such as spinal tumors.
