A narrowing of the spinal canal can affect the cervical spine and the lumbar spine. The cause, diagnosis and treatment options for so-called spinal canal stenosis are the focus of the patient academy of the clinic for spinal surgery, St. Josef-Stift Sendenhorst. Typical symptoms are not necessarily back pain, but arm and leg pain, insecurity when walking and increasingly shorter walking distances. Chief physician Dr. Christian Brinkmann explains the connections and uses a model to show how an operation on the cervical and lumbar spine is carried out in order to eliminate the narrowing in the spinal canal and stabilize the spine.
