In spinal stenosis there is a narrowing of the space around the spinal cord, which puts pressure on surrounding nerves. Bone spurs can cause the narrowing seen in spinal stenosis. These bone spurs are often associated with arthritis. In this condition, acupuncture focuses on pain reduction and supporting overall health.
