Spinal Stenosis translates literally to "choking of the spine." Due to severe, long-term osteoarthritis, massive bone spurs and thickened ligaments physically shrink the central tunnel housing your spinal cord. When you stand up straight or walk, this tunnel shrinks even further, strangling the nerves that control your legs. This causes "Neurogenic Claudication"—a heavy, aching cramp in your calves and thighs that completely disappears the instant you sit down. At DakshinRehab Moosapet, we use targeted mechanical treatments to physically decompress this exact space.


Central Canal Stenosis
The main tube carrying the spinal cord shrinks circumferentially. Causes severe leg heaviness and bilateral numbness whenever standing upright.

Foraminal Stenosis
Bone spurs crush the tiny side-holes where individual nerve roots exit the spine. Usually causes sharp, agonizing sciatica pain down one specific leg.

Neurogenic Claudication
The definitive hallmark of stenosis: your legs feel like 100-pound lead weights after walking one block, but leaning over a shopping cart relieves it instantly.

Degenerative Spondylolisthesis
Because the arthritic joints have failed completely, one spinal bone slides forward over another, brutally shearing the nerves in half.
Safely opening the spinal canal without surgical intervention.
We perform precise neurological tests on your legs to map exactly which nerve roots are being choked at which specific levels of your spine.
Using specific manual therapy techniques, we gently gap the posterior aspect of the vertebrae open, creating immediate microscopic space for the starved nerves to breathe.
We rigorously train your core to maintain a "posterior pelvic tilt" while walking—a posture that naturally keeps the spinal canal open, allowing you to walk vastly further.
Spinal stenosis is a mechanical space issue. The bone spurs will never go away without surgery, but you DO NOT always need surgery. DakshinRehab utilizes specific biomechanical techniques that teach your body how to dynamically open the spinal canal when you walk, drastically reducing nerve compression.


Many stenosis patients accept that they will end up in a wheelchair because their MRI looks terrible. But the spinal canal naturally changes size depending on your posture. Arching your back closes the canal by 20%; rounding your lower back opens it by 20%. We use intensive neuromuscular retraining to teach your core to hold the spine in this 'open' position while you walk, instantly doubling or tripling your walking distance.
Advanced mechanical pulling applied specifically with the knees bent toward the chest, strongly decompressing the narrowed nerve tunnels.
Deep Radiofrequency to aggressively relax the massively tight lower back muscles that develop from years of guarding the painful spine.
Using localized sensors to ensure you are firing the correct core muscles to permanently hold your pelvis in the pain-free, nerve-opening tilt.
Stenosis patients can often cycle for an hour with zero pain despite not being able to walk for 5 minutes. We use this to maintain high cardiovascular health safely.
Specific "flossing" movements applied to the legs to pull the trapped sciatic nerve back and forth through the narrowed spinal tunnel, reducing scar tissue grip.

“We can't dissolve the bone spurs, but we can teach your pelvis to tilt in a way that physically moves the bone spurs away from the nerve root. That is the secret to avoiding surgery.”— Dr. Swapnagandhi, Spine Physiotherapist

While the leg heaviness of stenosis is miserable, it is usually just an "electrical signal block" that recovers when you sit. However, if the bone spur completely severs the nerve's blood supply, the nerve will die permanently. Watch for these surgical red flags.
Cauda Equina Syndrome — Total loss of bowel or bladder control. If you cannot stop yourself from urinating or cannot initiate urination at all, go to the Emergency Room IMMEDIATELY.
Saddle Anesthesia — Complete, profound numbness in the genital, groin, or inner thigh areas (where you would sit on a bicycle seat).
Foot Drop — You suddenly cannot lift your toes off the ground while walking, causing you to constantly trip over your own feet. The nerve controlling your shin has been completely shut down.
Profound Leg Weakness — Your knees suddenly buckle and give way when trying to stand from a chair, completely unable to bear your body weight.
Numbness That Never Leaves — Normal stenosis numbness disappears when you sit down. If the numbness remains severe and constant 24 hours a day, the nerve is suffering permanent damage.
Loss of Knee or Ankle Reflexes — A clinical sign our physios check for, indicating severe upper-level nerve conduction block.

The root cause of stenosis. The discs completely flatten out, forcing the bones closer together and causing the bone spurs to grow.

The massive bone spurs crowding the nerves also cause the joints themselves to grind painfully against each other with every step.

The sharp, electric shock radiating down the leg when the stenosis specifically pinches the massive sciatic root at the L4 or L5 level.

Severe stenosis damages the proprioceptive nerves returning from the feet, mimicking neurological balance disorders and increasing fall risk.
