Spinal Stenosis

If you’re dealing with persistent lower back or neck pain in the Colorado Springs area, spinal stenosis could be the culprit. This condition happens when the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the nerves running through your spine. Often linked to age-related wear and tear, it was traditionally managed with surgery—but that’s no longer the only path.
At Colorado Spine & Disc, we offer advanced non-surgical spinal decompression therapy right here in Colorado Springs using the DRX9000 system. This targeted approach addresses the root cause by gently relieving pressure on compressed discs and nerves, helping reduce pain and improve mobility without invasive procedures.

Common Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

Symptoms vary by location:Cervical Stenosis (neck area) may cause:

  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in arms, hands, legs, or feet
  • Balance problems or difficulty walking
  • Neck pain
  • In severe cases, issues with bowel or bladder control

Lumbar Stenosis (lower back—the most frequent type) often leads to:

  • Numbness, tingling, or weakness in legs or feet
  • Leg pain or cramping during walking or prolonged standing (neurogenic claudication)
  • Lower back pain

If these sound familiar, don’t wait—consult a specialist to identify the underlying issue.

How a Herniated Disc Can Contribute to Spinal Stenosis

Your spine’s vertebrae are separated by cushioned discs that allow flexibility for bending and twisting. Over time—or due to injury—the outer layer can weaken or tear, letting the inner material bulge or herniate. This protrusion narrows the spinal space, irritates nerves, and contributes to stenosis.A herniated disc in the lower back might cause thigh or leg symptoms, while one higher up could affect shoulders or arms. Resulting nerve pressure often brings numbness, tingling, or weakness in those areas.While aging is a top factor, you can help prevent or minimize risks with:
  • Core and back-strengthening exercises
  • Proper posture to reduce spinal stress
  • Lifestyle habits that ease pressure on your discs

Find Relief With Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression

Experience real healing without going under the knife. Non-surgical spinal decompression therapy—like our advanced DRX9000 system—offers high success rates for conditions such as bulging or herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, sciatica caused by disc issues, and spinal stenosis.By gently and precisely stretching the spine, this treatment creates negative pressure inside the discs, helping retract bulging material, reduce nerve compression, restore disc height, and promote natural nutrient flow for repair—all in a safe, non-invasive way.Clinical studies and patient outcomes often show strong results:

  • Pain reduction of 70-80% or more in many cases
  • Success rates ranging from 71-89% across various research for disc-related back and leg pain
  • Significant improvements in function, mobility, and quality of life, even for chronic issues

Patients frequently report lasting relief from symptoms like radiating pain, numbness, tingling, and cramping, allowing them to return to daily activities pain-free.
