summary

Because I was careless when I was working on the construction site, my spine was damaged due to trauma, which also affected my normal life. The doctor said that my spinal stenosis was caused by spinal injury. Next, I will tell you what causes spinal stenosis?

What causes spinal stenosis

First: developmental lumbar spinal stenosis: this spinal stenosis is caused by congenital dysplasia. Degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis: it is mainly caused by degenerative lesions of the spine. Spondylolisthesis lumbar spinal canal stenosis: when spondylolisthesis occurs due to lumbar isthmus nonunion or degeneration, the upper and lower spinal canal moves forward and backward, which further narrows the spinal canal. At the same time, spondylolisthesis can promote degenerative degeneration and aggravate spinal canal stenosis.

Second: traumatic spinal stenosis: spinal injury, especially severe trauma caused by spinal fracture or dislocation often cause spinal stenosis. Iatrogenic spinal canal stenosis: in addition to the operation error, it is mainly due to the hypertrophy of interspinous ligament and ligamentum flavum or the thickening of the lamina at the bone graft site after spinal fusion, especially after posterior laminectomy and local bone graft fusion, which results in the narrowing of the spinal canal and compression of cauda equina or nerve root, causing lumbar spinal canal stenosis.

Third: Lumbar inflammation: including specific or non-specific inflammation, new organisms in or on the wall of the spinal canal can cause spinal stenosis. All kinds of deformities such as senile hunchback, scoliosis, ankylosing spondylitis, skeletal fluorosis, Paget's disease and spondylolysis can cause spinal stenosis.

matters needing attention

For spinal stenosis, it is mainly caused by spinal injury or congenital development. Patients must pay special attention in life, not to do intense exercise, but small amount of exercise rehabilitation training is essential. Usually diet also try to have some nutrition, drink more bone soup.
