Led by Dr. Sameer Mathur, our team specializes in both conservative and surgical solutions tailored to your specific needs, ensuring the best possible care and outcomes.

What Is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the spine narrow, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can lead to pain, numbness, weakness, and mobility issues, particularly in the neck (cervical stenosis) or lower back (lumbar stenosis).
Spinal stenosis is most commonly caused by age-related degenerative changes such as arthritis, disc bulges, or thickened ligaments. In severe cases, if untreated, it can lead to significant physical impairment.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

The symptoms of spinal stenosis vary based on the location and severity of the narrowing. Common signs include:

• Persistent back or neck pain
• Numbness, tingling, or weakness in the legs, feet, arms, or hands
• Difficulty walking, balance problems, or frequent falls
• Pain that worsens with standing or walking, but eases when sitting or leaning forward

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, it's essential to seek treatment early to prevent the condition from worsening and to regain mobility.

Treatment Options for Spinal Stenosis

At Mathur Spine Surgery, we offer a range of treatments for spinal stenosis, from non-surgical approaches to advanced surgical procedures. Our goal is to relieve pressure on the nerves and restore spinal function to improve your daily life.

Non-Surgical Treatment

• Physical Therapy: Tailored exercises that strengthen and stretch the muscles around the spine, improving flexibility and reducing pain.
• Medications: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), pain relievers, and muscle relaxants can alleviate pain and inflammation.
• Epidural Steroid Injections: Corticosteroid injections can reduce inflammation around the nerves, providing temporary pain relief.
• Lifestyle Modifications: Weight management and posture adjustments can help reduce strain on the spine.

Surgical Treatment

If conservative treatments are not effective, surgical options may be recommended to address the underlying cause of spinal stenosis. These may include:

• Laminectomy: Removing part of the vertebra (lamina) to create more space in the spinal canal and relieve nerve compression.
• Spinal Fusion: Fusing two or more vertebrae together to stabilize the spine following a laminectomy.
• Minimally Invasive Surgery: When possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to treat spinal stenosis, allowing for smaller incisions, faster recovery times, and reduced risk.

Dr. Sameer Mathur will work with you to determine the best treatment plan based on the severity of your condition and your health goals.
