Spinal canal narrowing, medically known as spinal stenosis, is a condition in which the spinal canal becomes narrowed, leading to compression of the nerves passing through it. This condition can cause pain, numbness, and restricted movement, especially in the lower back and neck regions. Prof. Dr. Sinan Kahraman is one of the leading experts in the diagnosis and treatment of this condition with his extensive experience in spinal disorders.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

The most common symptoms of spinal stenosis include:

• Pain radiating to the lower back and legs
• Increased leg weakness and numbness while walking or standing
• Relief of symptoms with rest or bending forward
• Balance problems and muscle weakness
• In some cases, loss of bladder or bowel control

Diagnosis Process

The diagnosis of spinal stenosis is made through a detailed physical examination and advanced imaging methods. Prof. Dr. Sinan Kahraman carefully evaluates his patients’ symptoms and uses imaging techniques such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and CT (Computed Tomography) to analyze the condition of the spinal canal. This allows accurate assessment of the disease stage and the degree of nerve compression.

Treatment Methods

Treatment of spinal stenosis varies depending on the severity of the condition and the patient’s overall health. Prof. Dr. Sinan Kahraman offers the following treatment options:

• Non-Surgical Treatments: Physical therapy, pain relievers and anti-inflammatory medications, epidural steroid injections
• Surgery: Microsurgical procedures aimed at widening the spinal canal and relieving nerve compression
• Rehabilitation: Specialized exercise programs to support recovery after surgery
