Spinal Stenosis Encino, CA

Spinal Stenosis can be a very debilitating disease. If you have seen many doctors in the past but have had no success, then there might be another option. Dr. Bruce Shannahoff, DC of the Valley Spinal Decompression Center at the West Valley Medical Center in Encino, CA would like to help you. Dr. Shannahoff and a team of experts utilize the most advanced technology available to treat spinal stenosis, while maintaining a conservative approach to medicine.

The narrowing of the spinal cord is the most commonly associated problem with spinal stenosis. Narrowing of the spinal column can result in pinched nerves that cause pain in the lower back, legs and upper back. This condition generally affects the elderly due to degeneration of the spine with age. Patients in the age range of 30-60 are more likely to have disc related problems than younger patients. However, injury or trauma to the region does make a person more prone to spinal stenosis. It is a very serious disease that must be treated by a trained professional. When deciding on which doctor is right for you, it is important for you to feel comfortable and relaxed around your health care professional.

Several of the symptoms associated with spinal stenosis include:

- Weakness in one leg
- Tingling or numbness in the legs or arms
- Loss of bladder control
- Weakness in one arm
- Burning pain in shoulders, neck, or arm
