A new blog post, authored by Dr. William Brooks of OrthoGeorgia, has been published to the rediscover Reads patient education publishing platform.
The article, titled "What is Spinal Stenosis?", educates patients about the causes of spinal stenosis and options for treating the condition. The article helps patients learn about the various stages of spinal stenosis, potential symptoms associated with this condition, and potential treatments.
This instructive article offers helpful illustrations, allowing patients to visualize the complex anatomy typically associated with spinal stenosis, and a comprehensive table showing the sensation provided at each vertebral level, with possible relevant symptoms.
Dr. Brooks sums up, noting:
"It is always best to understand your surgeon’s experience with newer techniques and any drawbacks that may exist."
As with all rediscover Reads articles, the information is provided for general education purposes only, rather than a recommendation for any particular patient.
