Understanding Spinal Disorder called Spinal Stenosis

Our ‪spine‬ consists of 3 parts, and when the spine becomes narrow at any of these parts, this leads to a ‪‎spinal problem‬ called ‪Spinal Stenosis‬. 

The narrowing of the spine causes excessive pressure on the nerves and the spinal cord which results in ‪pain‬. 

Generally, people in their mid 50's face this problem, but people who are either born with a narrow spinal canal or those who got their spine injured in any accident, can also become a victim of this disease. Pain and numbness in the back or neck which goes down to leg, might be an indication of this disease. In addition, if one is facing problems like loss of bowel or bladder control, pain or weakness in legs, consulting a doctor immediately is suggested. 

Diagnosing this problem in early stages can help in better treatment. So, if you notice any of the above mentioned symptoms; please don't ignore.

Remember what you learn on World Spine Day

The objective of World Spine Day which is being held tomorrow is to create awareness on how our inactive life style and wrong posture at work is damaging our back.
Lessons from this day are not meant to be followed only for the day but should become part of our regular life!
Generally what is seen that days are held with fanfare and the cause for which it was held is generally lost.Other wise for a day or two people try to follow the learnings seriously but after a week or so they slip back to their old habits.This is what one needs to watch out against. ‪
