Are you stopping to rest
more and more often while walking?
If your legs tire before your back does,and a short rest lets you walk again,do not dismiss it as simple aging or fatigue.It is worth having your spine evaluated.
Which symptoms concern you?
These are the most common symptoms of spinal stenosis.
Spinal stenosis progresses gradually, so by the time you notice symptoms, care is often already needed.
“It's probably just my age.”
Are you putting up with it for that reason?
Difficulty walking is not something
you need to blame on age.
Many people endure a stiff back and tingling legs for a long time, assuming it is simply part of getting older.
But if the distance you can walk keeps shrinking, you need to rest more often, or your daily activities are becoming limited, it is worth finding out the cause.
Even while you put up with it,
the discomfort can change in character.
The symptoms and progression of spinal stenosis vary from person to person.
What matters is knowing where you stand right now.
-
01Early
Discomfort appears after walking or standing for a long time.
The back or legs feel stiff and tingly, but resting brings relative relief, so many people carry on with daily life.
-
02Progressing
The distance you can walk at one time keeps getting shorter.
You stop to rest more often, and numbness and pain in the buttocks and legs, more than in the back, can make going out and staying active uncomfortable.
-
03Advanced
Everyday walking itself can become difficult.
In severe cases, neurological problems such as changes in leg sensation or weakness may appear, and a medical evaluation is needed.
What matters is not how long you can endure it,
but finding the treatment that fits your condition now.
For spinal stenosis, the treatment direction is decided by comprehensively considering
symptom severity, nerve compression, imaging results, and overall health.
It is important to accurately assess your current condition and discuss the appropriate treatment direction with our medical team.
