Lumbar spinal canal stenosis is a narrowing in the space in the lower spine that carries nerves to your legs. This space is very small. As the lumbar spinal canal shrinks, the nerves that go through it are squeezed. This squeezing may cause back pain, leg pain and leg weakness. This talk will address minimally invasive techniques for treatment of this troublesome condition.

Speaker: Todd Alamin, MD, Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery
