Spinal Stenosis Treatment in Tampa, FL
Spinal Stenosis and Neurogenic Claudication
If your legs feel heavy or painful after walking or standing, and sitting brings relief, spinal stenosis may be part of the picture. A clear evaluation can help.
What it is
Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spaces within the spine, which can put pressure on the nerves. When this narrowing causes leg symptoms with walking or standing, it is called neurogenic claudication.
Common symptoms
Pain, heaviness, or cramping in the legs with walking or standing
Relief when sitting down or leaning forward
Numbness or tingling in the legs
Reduced walking distance over time
Common causes
Narrowing of the spine is often related to arthritis and normal wear over time, and it can be made worse by other spine conditions.
How DR2SPINE approaches it

Dr. Myrdalis Díaz-Ramírez discusses a personalized plan designed to reduce pressure-related symptoms and improve comfort, which may include image-guided injections, regenerative options, and supportive approaches, with a focus on non-surgical care when possible.
