Gender
Spinal stenosis is more prevalent in male patients.
Prevalence
Lumbar spinal stenosis is the leading diagnosis in older adults who undergo spinal surgery.
Morbidity
Most cases of spinal stenosis can be managed with activity modification and conservative treatments. Even without treatment, patients often show symptomatic improvements over time. Cervical stenosis has the potential to lead to more serious neurological injuries and can worsen existing damage to the spinal cord if left untreated.
