Struggling to Walk, Stand, or Stay Active Because of Lower Back and Leg Pain?
If walking, standing, or prolonged activity causes pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, or heaviness in your legs, lumbar spinal stenosis may be contributing to your symptoms.
At Rosenberg Wellness Center, Dr. Jeffrey Rosenberg provides conservative, non-surgical treatment options for patients suffering from lumbar spinal stenosis, helping many Midtown Manhattan professionals, executives, commuters, and athletes improve mobility and function while reducing discomfort.
Located in Midtown Manhattan, our office serves patients from Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, Rockefeller Center, Park Avenue, and surrounding areas.
Lumbar spinal stenosis occurs when the spaces within the lower spine become narrowed, potentially placing pressure on spinal nerves traveling into the legs. This narrowing often develops gradually due to age-related changes in the spine, including disc degeneration, arthritis, ligament thickening, and bone spur formation.
Symptoms often worsen with standing and walking and improve when sitting or bending forward.
Patients with lumbar spinal stenosis may experience:
✔️ Lower back pain
✔️ Sciatica or pain radiating into the legs
✔️ Numbness or tingling in the legs or feet
✔️ Leg weakness
✔️ Cramping or heaviness in the legs while walking
✔️ Difficulty standing for extended periods
✔️ Symptoms that improve when sitting or leaning forward
Many patients report that grocery shopping while leaning on a cart feels easier than walking upright. This is a classic symptom frequently associated with lumbar spinal stenosis.
Several factors may contribute to lumbar spinal stenosis, including:
These conditions can reduce available space around spinal nerves and contribute to symptoms.
