What are <strong>the</strong> causes of spinal <strong>stenosis</strong>?<br />

The most common cause of spinal <strong>stenosis</strong> is aging. Degenerative processes<br />

occur throughout your body as it ages. Tissues in your spine may start to<br />

thicken, and bones may get bigger, compressing <strong>the</strong> nerves. Conditions like<br />

osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis may also contribute to spinal<br />

<strong>stenosis</strong>. The inflammation <strong>the</strong>y cause can put pressure on your spinal cord.<br />

O<strong>the</strong>r conditions that can cause <strong>stenosis</strong> include spine defects present at<br />

birth, a naturally narrow spinal cord, spinal curvature, or scoliosis, Paget’s<br />

disease of <strong>the</strong> bone, which causes abnormal bone destruction and regrowth,<br />

bone tumors ,achondroplasia, which is a type of dwarfism.
