Dr. Connor Tobish from Whitefish Chiropractic. In this discussion, we'll dive into a common cause of sciatic symptoms: degenerative changes in the lumbar spine, also known as stenosis. This condition is typically seen in older patients, usually not before their 60s or 70s. Often, individuals experiencing symptoms in their legs have likely been dealing with chronic low back pain for an extended period. • As the condition progresses, symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness, and a sensation of heaviness may manifest in one or both legs. Notably, a key characteristic of stenosis is that individuals often find relief from leg symptoms when sitting slouched or stooping forward. • To understand what's happening, imagine the cumulative stress our spine endures throughout life. The discs lose height, and the spinal joints hypertrophy or enlarge due to repeated impact. This process results in the closure of spaces around nerves exiting the spine. Whether these nerves exit laterally or down the middle where the spinal cord runs, the constriction causes the symptoms. • By stooping forward or sitting slouched, individuals temporarily alleviate the pressure on the nerves. Now, let's explore a simple test to check if your symptoms might be related to lumbar spine stenosis. • Lie down on your belly, propped up on your forearms, forcing extension into the lumbar spine. Stay in this position for up to two minutes to see if it reproduces your symptoms. If it does, there's a good chance that stenosis is the culprit. • For those with stenosis, relief often comes from intentionally forcing flexion into the lumbar spine. I'll show you a couple of exercises to achieve this. One involves lying on your back, pulling your knees towards your chest. Another can be done sitting off the edge of something, rounding your low back forward. • Additionally, I'll demonstrate a way to decompress the lumbar spine, which may provide quick relief. Lie down with your hips and knees sagging off a surface, creating a rounded lower back. Hold for 15-20 seconds, repeat three times. • If you suspect your symptoms are related to lumbar spine stenosis, these exercises may offer relief.
