Spinal canal stenosis is one of the most common diseases of the spine and can be accompanied by various symptoms for those affected. The condition usually affects patients over the age of 50. Typical symptoms include walking-related back pain and, in particular, leg pain, which quickly improves when sitting or lying down. Other symptoms include numbness, tingling or weakness in the legs. Specific examinations are required to make a precise diagnosis.

- In addition to a conventional X-ray, a precise diagnosis requires specialised examinations such as MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) or, if MRI is not possible, CT (computed tomography) or myelography. Comprehensive diagnostics enable me to design individualised treatment paths for you.
- We offer a wide range of treatment options, from conservative approaches such as physical therapy and pain medication to interventional methods such as epidural steroid injections. If surgical intervention is necessary, minimally invasive procedures or decompression surgery are available.
