SPINAL STENOSIS

SPINAL STENOSIS

Spinal Stenosis is a condition of the spine where the spinal column is narrowing and compressing on the spinal cord. This is a slowly progressing condition. At first, and when the narrowing is slight, a patient can be experiencing zero symptoms. When compression progresses and becomes severe, it begins to affect nerves and cause other complications.

How do you know you are experiencing spinal stenosis symptoms, and if it’s time to seek help from a specialist?

Weakness in the arms or legs
Lower back pain while standing or walking
Numbness in your legs or buttocks
Issues balancing

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, and it appears to be long lasting or persistent, please do not hesitate to call Dr. Merheb's office for help and a pain management plan that is tailored to your body’s needs.

Dr. Merheb specializes in various nonsurgical treatments and is exceptionally experienced in addressing chronic pain caused by injury or damage to structures in the spine. He utilizes regenerative treatments and therapies to address damaged areas, including injections of stem cells or platelet-rich plasma (PRP), which aid in the repairing and healing bones, muscle, and tissue naturally.

Other means of treatment Dr. Merheb may use to address spinal stenosis are (but not limited to):

Nerve blocking to disrupt pain signals which are sent from the brain
Injections of corticosteroids and other anesthetic medications to aid in pain management and decrease inflammation
Minimally invasive decompression procedures

After your consultation, if Dr. Merheb finds you have a severely damaged spinal disc or another condition which is not treatable with conservative therapies, he may refer you to an outside party for surgery.
