1. Spinal stenosis, lumbar region척추관 협착증(spinal stenosis)은 척추관이 좁아지는 질환이다. 요추 협착증은 만성 요통의 흔한 원인이다. 척추관 협착증은 척추의 퇴행성 변화로 인해 후천적으로 발생한다. 뼈돌출, 척추인대 칼슘침착, 디스크 퇴행같은 관절 변화는 척추관을 좁게 만들어 신경을 누르게 된다. 압박으로 인한 염증은 통증, 약화, 무감각을 초래할 수 있다. 요추의 척추관이 협착되면 요통을 유발하며, 통증은 주로 허리에서 시작하여 엉덩이와 다리로 방사된다. 무감각, 저림, 약화, 다리와 둔부가 무거워지는 증상이 나타날 수 있다. 대부분 협착증은 서서히 진행된다.

1. Spinal stenosis, lumbar regionSpinal stenosis in the lumbar region is a common condition that occurs when the spinal canal in the lower back narrows, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can lead to a variety of symptoms, including back pain, leg pain, numbness, and weakness. The primary cause of lumbar spinal stenosis is the gradual degeneration of the spine that occurs with aging. Over time, the discs between the vertebrae can bulge or herniate, and the ligaments and bones can thicken, leading to a narrowing of the spinal canal. Other factors that can contribute to lumbar spinal stenosis include arthritis, injuries, and congenital abnormalities. Symptoms of lumbar spinal stenosis can vary widely, depending on the severity of the condition and the specific nerves that are affected. Some people may experience only mild discomfort, while others may have severe, debilitating pain that significantly impacts their quality of life. Treatment for lumbar spinal stenosis typically begins with conservative measures, such as physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and epidural steroid injections. These treatments can help to reduce inflammation and improve mobility. In more severe cases, surgery may be recommended to decompress the spinal cord and nerves, either by removing a portion of the bone or by fusing the affected vertebrae. Overall, lumbar spinal stenosis is a complex and often challenging condition to manage, but with the right treatment approach, many people are able to find relief from their symptoms and maintain a good quality of life. It is important for individuals with this condition to work closely with their healthcare providers to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses their specific needs and goals.
