Lumbar spinal stenosis is a condition of the lower back, typically caused by age-related changes such as osteoarthritis, that can produce leg pain, numbness and weakness and reduces the capacity to stand and walk.

Recent evidence suggests that a combined education, hands-on manual therapy and exercise program can significantly improve pain, function and quality of life in those with leg symptoms due to lumbar spinal stenosis.
