What is spinal stenosis, why it needs to be treated and why to have spinal stenosis surgery in Spain? The narrowing of the spinal canal and obstruction of the nerves located within the spinal canal is called lumbar spinal stenosis. Most commonly, lower parts of the lumbar spine are affected. The nerves located in this part of the spine are responsible for the innervation of the legs. In fact, symptoms can lead too, and cause, problems affecting the quality of life for example: walking. Specialised high-level private medical treatment is available in the biggest cities in Spain without any delays.
Why spinal stenosis surgery is required?
Surgery may be considered if other treatments haven’t helped or if your everyday activity is limited by your symptoms. The goals of surgery include relieving the pressure on your spinal cord or nerve roots by creating more space within the spinal canal. Surgery to decompress the area of stenosis is the most definitive way to try to resolve symptoms of spinal stenosis.
Recovery time for spine surgery depends on the individual patient and the complexity of the required surgery. Typically, the recovery time for spinal stenosis surgery is 4 to 6 days and 2 to 3 days for herniated disc surgery.
