- Lumbar spinal stenosis are some of the most frightening words that can come from your doctor’s visit for your leg and lower back pain.
The conversation usually goes to the extreme of needing surgery, the possibility of becoming paralyzed, and constant worry that the stenosis is getting worse everyday.
But there’s good news! You’re likely just in a medical office that never sees lumbar spinal stenosis patients get better. That doctor’s office probably does not specialize in treating this without medications, injections or surgery.
In this video, Dr. David explains everything you need to know about lumbar spinal stenosis. Learn about the causes and symptoms. Hear what treatment options you have for this. And at the end of the video, watch him explain the real root of the problem so you can begin to treat your spinal stenosis naturally and effectively.

You're the best detailed and comprehensive explanation I've heard yet. Thank you!!
I want to thank you for giving hope with the videos you’ve done about Lumbar Spinal stenosis…. Some other info online about it is pretty dark and depressing! I’ve had back problems that started suddenly 6 months ago (one minute it wasn’t there, then it was) and my physio thinks I may have lateral stenosis based on my symptoms and what hurts or gives relief when I move certain ways. It’s not a definite diagnosis yet (I’ve had no x-ray or mri) but I’ve been doing some of the core exercises you’ve given and also bending/stretching forward a lot for the last two weeks and it really does seem to have helped already. Bless you for taking the time to share your experience and knowledge. With love and gratitude from Stormy Scotland ❤
This guy is great!!!! Love preventive medicine!
Thank you for being upfront and honest.
2:36 pm est. I have spinal stenosis. Learn a lot from your videos. Even told my pt. So when are you coming to New York?
Great explanation
Thank you, this is informative. I'm working on my core which seems to help. Blessings 🙏
Thank you for all your videos 🙏

Hi Felicia, Dr. David doesn't currently have any resources for lumbar lordosis but we will forward your comment so that he can consider it for future content. Thank you so much for mentioning this as it also helps our TH-cam Community! 🧡
Just a correction: there is no spinal cord below T12-L1 level. You keep mentioning "spinal cord" in relation to the lumbar vertebral column; but unless the pathology involves the conus medullaris at T12-L1 (or even higher), we really don't encounter the spinal cord in the lumbar spine.
Next off, you forgot to mention foraminal stenosis (which may exist on its own, or co-occur with lateral recess stenosis and/or central canal stenosis). Foraminal stenosis that occurs on its own can be treated with lateral percutaneous/endoscopic approaches (either with a uniportal scope system or a biportal scope system) instead of the more well-used interlaminar approach.
Lastly, there is no such thing as a "non-invasive" definitive treatment for lumbar neurologic compression (i.e., pinching of nerve roots, not of spinal cord). The definitive treatment of compression is decompression -- reclaim/create space around the lumbar nerve roots (not spinal cord) to restore blood flow and allow the roots to self-repair from reversible ischemic damage. Decompression can be done using open techniques (e.g., classic midline approach or the more modern & less invasive paraspinal Wiltse approach), can be done using more forgiving retraction hardware (e.g., tubular dilators combined with an operative microscope), or can be done using endoscopes (interlaminar & transforaminal approaches). We call the latter as "minimally invasive surgery" or MIS (which is the scientific term used by surgeons worldwide). Nobody says "non-invasive surgery" (because until somebody actually invents nanorobotic machines that can do surgery from the inside, that's still an oxymoron as far as today's technology goes).
And yes, MIS for the spine (especially endoscopic surgery) actually isn't that big of a deal nowadays. Classic / open surgery of the spine is a big deal -- lots of muscle stripping & muscle damage, bigger bone removals & ligamental sacrifice, lots of blood loss, lots of pain meds after surgery, slow recovery after surgery, etc. Endoscopic surgery however is not at all like that -- patients are comfortable enough to be fully awake while surgery is being done, and patients can now be sent home as soon as the anesthesia wears off. Post-op pain management is easy with endoscopic spine decompression surgery too. Return to activity is rapid. Patients don't even require undergoing post-op physical therapy nowadays following endoscopic spine surgery.

Есть ли текс на руммелм языке
Is it a neuro condition or orthopaedic condition sirr???
Hey Soumya, great question! It is usually a bit of both! The alignment of the bones in the back can start to press on the nerves that cause neurological symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, etc.
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy so for having research,can we proceed to have a research in this condition
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy that means you are telling neurological symptoms pain means i.e radiating pain right. And also the neurological symptoms numbness,tingling also right
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy that means when nerve get involved then it comes under neurological conditions ,is that correct sir
Plz can you get it clear becoz i want to do my research on this topic and i m in neurology master in physiotherapy
