Spinal Stenosis
Introduction

Signs/Symptoms
Pain, numbness, or tingling in the back, buttocks, or legs, often worse when standing or walking and relieved by sitting or bending forward.

How Physio Can Help
Treatment includes mobility work, postural strategies, strengthening, and exercise programs tailored to reduce nerve irritation and improve walking tolerance.
