Spinel Stenosis

Were you looking for information about Spinal Stenosis? Spinel stenosis is a common misspelling of spinal stenosis.
 
Spinal stenosis occurs when there is a narrowing of spaces in the spine, which causes pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots. This pressure on the spinal cord can cause pain or numbness in the legs or shoulders. Although spinal stenosis is most common in men and women over 50 years old, it can also occur in younger people who have had a spinal injury or who are born with a narrowing of the spinal canal.
