Lumbar & Cervical Disc Prolapse & Canal Stenosis
Lumbar and cervical disc prolapse, along with canal stenosis, are spinal conditions characterized by the compression of nerves or the spinal cord due to disc bulging or narrowing of the spinal canal. Lumbar disc prolapse involves the lower back discs, often causing lower back pain, sciatica, and leg weakness, while cervical disc prolapse affects the neck discs, leading to neck pain, arm pain, and arm weakness or numbness. Canal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, resulting in symptoms like pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking, particularly in the legs. Treatment options range from conservative measures such as physical therapy and medication to surgical intervention in severe cases, emphasizing the importance of seeking medical evaluation for appropriate diagnosis and management.
