Wennʼs eng wird – Diagnostik und Therapie der lumbalen spinalen Stenose

Eine lumbale spinale Stenose kann sich mit verschiedenen Symptomen zeigen. Entsprechend umfangreich ist die Diagnostik. Neben Anamnese, klinischer Untersuchung und bildgebenden Verfahren empfehlen sich ein Laufbandtest sowie modifizierte neurologische Tests. Aufgrund der guten Prognose nimmt die Physiotherapie einen wichtigen Stellenwert bei der Behandlung ein. Sie birgt weniger Risiken als eine Operation und kann bei leichter bis moderater Symptomatik deutliche Verbesserungen erzielen.
