Causes of Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Hello, lumbar spinal stenosis in patients may result from congenital underdevelopment of the lumbar spinal canal—termed congenital lumbar spinal stenosis. Later in life, repetitive weight-bearing activities involving the lumbar spine lead to degenerative changes and bony overgrowth (osteophyte formation) of the vertebral bodies, thereby exacerbating spinal canal narrowing and compressing the spinal cord and nerve roots within the canal, ultimately producing clinical symptoms. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
