Comprehensive Spine Care for Every Condition Affecting Your Neck, Mid-Back, and Lower Back.

The early signs of spinal stenosis include a dull, aching pain in the lower back or neck that worsens with prolonged standing or walking, leg pain or cramping that improves when you sit or lean forward, numbness or tingling radiating into the arms or legs, and a feeling of weakness or heaviness in the limbs. In cervical stenosis, patients may also notice clumsiness in the hands, difficulty with fine motor tasks, or problems with balance and coordination. These symptoms are often gradual in onset and mistaken for normal aging. If you are experiencing any combination of these symptoms particularly radiating pain, numbness, or weakness a consultation with a spine specialist is strongly recommended. Rishi N. Sheth, MD at Spine Care New Jersey offers a free MRI review for patients who want an expert assessment of their imaging before committing to a treatment plan.
