Spinal Stenosis in Johnstown, CO

Spinal stenosis is a condition that causes narrowing of the spinal canal, which can lead to pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves contained within the cord. A majority of spinal stenosis cases occur in the lumbar (lower) spine, and this can cause pain along the back of the legs. Stenosis is often caused by wear and tear that comes with age, and the majority of the 200,000-plus cases reported in the U.S. each year affect people 60 years and older. At the Colorado Spine Institute in Johnstown, we can provide proper diagnosis and treatment for your spinal stenosis.
