Treatment for spinal stenosis can produce immediate and long lasting back pain relief. I’ve prepared a video today that demonstrates one of the simple back pain exercises I use to treat spinal stenosis.

Spinal stenosis is a condition that is characterized by narrowing of the opening through which the nerve exits the spine. It is related to degenerative disc desease, disc herniation, disc bulging, or disc protrusion.

In many cases tight muscles that attach to the spine or pelvis can cause the spinal opening to narrow. Because of this narrowing, sciatica (pinched nerve) symptoms can ensue.

One of the muscles that affects the position of the pelvis is the rectus femoris muscle. A tight rectus femoris results in the pelvis rotating forward which can cause the spine to bend backwards, resulting in further narrowing of the spinal opening.

By effectively stretching the rectus femoris, the pelvis is able to maintain its normal position, thus reducing the negative influence it could have on the spine.

More back pain relief treatment for spinal stenosis can be found in the Erase Your Back Pain program.
