What Is Neural Foraminal Stenosis?

It refers to a variety of forms of spinal canal, neural tube and intervertebral foraminal stenosis, spinal canal volume changes caused by soft tissue, and dural sac narrowing caused by a series of low back pain and a series of neurological symptoms. It is called lumbar spinal stenosis. Due to the narrow spinal canal, the cauda equina nerve in the spinal canal is compressed to produce symptoms such as low back pain. If the spinal canal is narrowed, nerve roots will also be under compression, causing axonal plasm to be interrupted due to compression; neurohumoral dysfunction; relative expansion of nerve sheaths; stimulation of nerve endings; and hypoxia due to blocked blood flow; venous return Limited local stasis, etc., these constitute the cause of back and leg pain. Lumbar spinal stenosis refers to the abnormality of the spinal canal structure caused by primary or secondary factors, the narrowing of the spinal canal, and the occurrence of lumbar and leg pain mainly characterized by intermittent iliac behavior.

Is spinal stenosis the best surgery? This is not the case. At present, there are many conservative treatment methods for symptomatic treatment, which can obviously alleviate the discomfort of patients. For example, for patients whose nerves are damaged due to compression, some neurotrophic treatments can be used; for severe ischemia, drugs that dilate blood vessels can be used to improve blood supply; elderly women mostly have different degrees of osteoporosis and take anti-bone Pore medicine can significantly improve the symptoms of spinal stenosis; proper physical therapy can also help relax muscles and relieve discomfort. Only when the problem of spinal stenosis seriously affects life, for example, some people cannot walk for more than ten minutes, then consider surgery.

Remind older friends not to dare to exercise as soon as you detect spinal stenosis. In fact, the correct exercise is good for preventing the condition from getting worse. For example, training the waist muscles to increase the strength of the anterior, posterior, and lateral ligaments of the lumbar spine can prevent the disc from protruding and cause the space around the nerves to become smaller and compressed. When exercising, be careful not to bend or turn abruptly, do not choose too strenuous exercise, the body sweats slightly is best. ^[3]

Lumbar spinal canal and nerve root canal due to osseous, fibrous hyperplasia, or herniated disc causes one or more flat official cavity stenosis. Compression of the pony tail or nerve root causes lower limb movement, sensation, and anal bladder sphincter dysfunction. It is called lumbar spinal stenosis. disease.

Traditional Chinese medicine for treating traditional Chinese medicine believes that the main causes of this disease are: congenital kidney qi deficiency, kidney qi deficiency, and kidney damage due to fatigue. The internal factors that cause the disease are repeated trauma, chronic strain, and the invasion of wind, cold, and dampness. Its external cause.
