Spinal Stenosis

You probably take it for granted, but your spine does a lot of work each day for your body. Until something feels wrong, your spine is likely not on your mind. For those who suffer from a painful condition known as spinal stenosis, it is a daily reminder of how an abnormality can really affect your quality of life.

You might be wondering if you’re at risk for spinal stenosis. Those with arthritis, who are usually over 50,  are more susceptible. This is because aging takes a toll on the body, especially the spine. This stress on the spine can lead to spinal stenosis. However, it’s important to realize that not all older people will develop this condition. Genetics can play a part, as well as lifestyle. For example, those with physically demanding jobs are more at risk to develop this condition than those with desk jobs.

We want to show you that living a pain-free life is possible. To regain control of your quality of life, call the Busch Chiropractic Pain Center today at (260) 471-4090.
