Learn the main symptoms and risks of L4 L5 stenosis and when to seek medical help.

HOW SERIOUS IS L4 L5 SPINAL STENOSIS

WHAT L4 L5 STENOSIS MEANS

Narrowing at L4 L5 compresses nerves in the lower back. It can affect mobility and cause leg pain or weakness.

WHY IT CAN BE SERIOUS

Severe narrowing may cause constant pain, numbness, and walking difficulty. Untreated cases can worsen over time.

COMMON SYMPTOMS

Back pain, leg numbness, tingling, and leg heaviness are common. Symptoms improve when sitting or bending forward.

HOW DIAGNOSIS IS MADE

Doctors use physical exams, MRI, CT, and nerve tests to confirm nerve compression at L4 L5.

NON SURGICAL CARE

Physical therapy, NSAIDs, steroid injections, and posture changes help reduce pain and improve function.

LIFESTYLE SUPPORT

Weight control, gentle exercise, and ergonomic adjustments reduce pressure on the spine and ease symptoms.

RED FLAG SYMPTOMS

Seek urgent care for sudden weakness, bladder or bowel loss, severe numbness, or rapid worsening.
