Several factors, including arthritis, herniated discs, ligamentous thickening, or previous spinal injuries, can cause spinal stenosis. Symptoms of spinal stenosis can include back or neck pain, numbness or tingling in the arms or legs, weakness in the arms or legs, and difficulty with balance and walking. Treatment for spinal stenosis may include physical therapy, non-opioid medications to relieve pain and inflammation, epidural steroid injections, and more.
