Spinal Stenosis

Vitamin K2 may help reduce pathological calcium deposition such as bone spurs that contribute to spinal canal narrowing. Spinal stenosis involves narrowing of the spinal canal that compresses the spinal cord itself, distinct from a pinched nerve which compresses only a single nerve root. Post-surgical scar tissue from spinal stenosis surgery can sometimes be more debilitating than the original stenosis, making surgery a last resort. Restoring lumbar lordosis is a first-line conservative treatment for spinal stenosis because losing it increases canal pressure.
