Spinal stenosis is a type of medical condition that occurs when there is a narrowing of an area of the spine. This often affects the canals that contain nerves, and can cause pain or numbness in the legs or shoulders. In most cases, spinal stenosis affects men and women over the age of 50 years old. However, younger people who were born with a narrowing of the spinal canal or who have suffered a spinal injury may also develop the condition.
