Lumbar spinal stenosis is a degenerative condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerves. It primarily affects older individuals and is associated with age-related changes in the spine, such as osteoarthritis and disc degeneration. The condition presents with symptoms such as neurogenic claudication, radiculopathy, and loss of balance. Diagnosis involves medical history, physical examination, and imaging studies. Treatment options include non-surgical approaches like medication, physical therapy, and injections, as well as surgical interventions when conservative measures fail. A multidisciplinary approach is essential for effective management of lumbar spinal stenosis, improving symptoms and enhancing the quality of life for affected individuals.
