Absence or low individual and public risk
Connective tissue stenosis of neural canal - what does this mean
Connective tissue stenosis of neural canal is a rare condition caused by an abnormal formation of the connective tissue surrounding the neural canal, which is the space that houses the spinal cord. this can lead to compression of the spinal cord, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the arms and legs. in some cases, it can also lead to paralysis.
What happens during the disease - connective tissue stenosis of neural canal
Connective tissue stenosis of neural canal is caused by the accumulation of scar tissue around the neural canal, which can be caused by trauma, inflammation, or infection. this scar tissue builds up and narrows the neural canal, leading to compression of the nerve root and causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the affected areas.

Connective tissue stenosis of neural canal - Prevention
Connective tissue stenosis of the neural canal can be prevented by maintaining good posture, avoiding activities that involve repetitive motion, and performing exercises that strengthen the muscles and ligaments of the spine. additionally, it is important to avoid smoking and to maintain a healthy weight.
