Vertebral stenosis is a condition characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal, leading to compression of the spinal cord and nerves. The International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code for vertebral stenosis is M48.06.
Vertebral stenosis can be caused by a variety of factors, including age-related changes, arthritis, herniated discs, and tumors. Symptoms of vertebral stenosis may include pain, numbness, weakness, and tingling in the arms or legs. In severe cases, it can lead to difficulty walking or performing daily activities.
Diagnosis of vertebral stenosis typically involves a physical examination, imaging tests such as X-rays, MRIs, or CT scans, and possibly nerve conduction studies. Treatment options for vertebral stenosis may include pain management, physical therapy, steroid injections, or surgery in severe cases.
Preventative measures such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and proper body mechanics can help reduce the risk of developing vertebral stenosis. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in managing symptoms and preventing further complications associated with this condition.
