What is spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spaces within the spine, which puts pressure on the nerves traveling through it.

After being in an automobile accident, I initially went to them because they were close to my home. From the beginning, the staff was extremely kind and helpful. They worked with my schedule always, and Dr. Kal, Dr. Federico, ,and all the therapists were great! I highly recommend this facility.

My favorite spot in town to see a chiropractor. I will even drive if I will move away from Woodstock. Dr Kal is such a talented doctor, and he built such a great environment of health professionals at his practice. We had many health problems and Dr Kal helped me and my 2 kids tremendously: with my aged neck, migraines, shoulder pain,back pain,sinus infections,helped my kids after they had a car accident,when they have cough or ear ache, stuffy nose. My girls dance and chiropractic adjustments help them so much!!!! I love the option of a massage therapy too. Alejandro is so good! Book your appointment and you won't be disappointed. I've been seeing this office for 3 years!

Frequently Asked Questions
Have a question we haven't covered? Call us — we're happy to help.
What causes spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is usually caused by age-related changes such as disc degeneration, thickened ligaments, bone spurs, or a naturally narrow spinal canal, and can be accelerated by injury.
When should I see a doctor about spinal stenosis?
See a doctor if you have progressive leg weakness or numbness, difficulty walking or balancing, or symptoms that don't improve with conservative care.
Is surgery required for spinal stenosis?
Not usually. Most patients improve with conservative care such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, and interventional pain management; surgery is considered only when those options don't provide relief.
Do I need a referral to be seen?
No referral is required. You can schedule a direct evaluation by calling or booking online.
Will my insurance cover treatment?
Coverage varies by plan. Our team verifies your benefits before your first visit and can answer coverage questions when you call.
Can physical therapy help spinal stenosis?
Yes. Targeted core strengthening and flexibility work can relieve pressure on the spine and improve your ability to stand and walk comfortably.
How is spinal stenosis diagnosed?
Diagnosis is based on your symptoms and a physical exam, often confirmed with imaging such as an MRI or CT scan to see where the spinal canal is narrowed.
