The spine is a complex structure of our body that is part of the axial skeleton that makes up the central part of our body. The spine is composed of 33 small units called vertebrae, 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral and 4 coccygeal. The vertebrae have a canal in their posterior part in which the nervous system passes through, innervating various structures to allow perception of sensation and movement. Spinal canal stenosis is a condition that occurs when the spinal cord (the neural system that passes through the spinal canal), is compressed due to narrowing of the spinal spaces. This narrowing can be congenital or occur over time. Gradual narrowing can be caused by several factors, such as a reported injury to the spine, bony conditions that lead to excessive bone growth (for example: osteoarthritis), disc disease (protrusions and hernias), and other medical conditions (for example: cysts). Depending on the specifics of the condition, patients with this condition may report significantly different symptoms, from being completely asymptomatic, to presenting with twinges<\/strong> in the lower back<\/strong> and neural symptoms (for example: tingling, burning, weakness, etc.). In addition to collecting data regarding the mechanism of injury and performing a physical assessment of the patient, an instrumental examination (e.g., X-ray, computed tomography, MRI, etc.) is necessary to optimally visualize the specifics of the injury. It is important to emphasize that the presence of anatomical abnormalities of the spine detected by instrumental examination do not necessarily correlate with the symptoms reported by the patient, and false positives are common. For this reason, a holistic approach is critical in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with back disorders. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

<\/section>
Based on the severity of the condition, significantly different treatment strategies can be implemented in the management of this condition. Conservative treatment is typically the first line of treatment, consisting of rehabilitation and pharmacological intervention (e.g.:
medications, injections, etc.). In more severe cases when surgical treatment is deemed necessary, several different procedures can be implemented based on the patient\u2019s needs and are always discussed between the patient and the medical-surgical staff. In Isokinetic, after being thoughtfully visited by one of our specialised doctors, your recovery process will be structured in different stages and take place in four different environments, the pool, the
gym, the movement analysis and retraining room, and the pitch. Likewise for all the other medical conditions, a global approach (bio-psycho-social), centred on your needs will be
implemented. In the early stages, the main goal of the rehabilitation is to minimise the symptoms related to the condition. Mobility recovery and muscle activation are typically progressed with respect to maintaining spinal stability. In the mid-stage of rehabilitation, core
and upper\/lower limb strength and stability recovery become the priority, together with the optimisation of the general movement quality to learn how to effectively distribute the load among different structures (back, hip, knee) during daily living, and sports activities. Finally,
to complete the recovery process, on-field rehabilitation plays a fundamental role in allowing our patients to return to participate in their favourite activities, maximising the outcomes and reducing the likelihood of complications. <\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
