What is spinal stenosis? What are the symptoms? And how can a narrow spinal canal be treated? This is what the patient academy of the clinic for spinal surgery at St. Josef-Stift Sendenhorst is all about. Chief physician Dr. Christian Brinkmann explains the cause and diagnosis and gives an update on the treatment options for this often wear-related condition of spinal stenosis. A narrow spinal canal does not always show up in back pain, but also in leg problems. Increasingly shorter walking distances, unsteadiness when walking, arm or leg pain and even paralysis are typical symptoms. After his lecture, Christian Brinkmann will demonstrate a surgical procedure using a model to show how a narrow spinal canal canal can be surgically removed and spinal instabilities can be fixed. "The aim of the treatment is to maintain mobility and improve quality of life," says Brinkmann. Visit us online: www.st-josef-stift.de www.instagram.com/stjosefstift www.facebook.com/St.Josef.Stift
