Stenosis Symptoms & Causes

Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal, caused by spinal disc bulges, arthritis, or issues with back ligaments and muscles. Stenosis pinches the spinal cord and the nerves exiting the spinal column, often resulting in lower back pain that can radiate down into the leg. It less commonly causes pain in the neck, shoulders, and arms.

Stenosis Treatment Options

Proper treatment can effectively relieve stenosis symptoms. And fortunately, MRIs/X-rays and surgery are rarely necessary. At Dorsal, we prescribe clinically proven treatment plans including safe prescription drugs (NSAIDs, steroids, and more) and personalized physical therapy programs. In the rare cases where these are insufficient, your Dorsal doctor will tell you when to seek out an imaging specialist or surgeon.

Common Questions

Who is Dorsal for?

If you suffer from spinal stenosis, back pain, or another musculoskeletal disorder, and you prefer to receive treatment right at home, then Dorsal is for you!

Do I need a prescription to use Dorsal?

No. Your Dorsal physician will write a prescription for you based on your online visit if they assess it’s the right treatment course. Dorsal physicians are all properly licensed and prescribe medications online in full compliance with all federal and state laws. We only prescribe safe, non-opioid medications that are FDA-approved for treating spinal stenosis, including NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, anticonvulsants, and steroids.

What's the cost?

Appointments with back specialists, pain management doctors, and physiatrists (i.e. physical medicine and rehab doctors) are extremely expensive. $400+/hr.

With Dorsal, you get a whole month's worth of all-inclusive, concierge medical care for just $59 (with a special 14-day free trial for new patients). Our flat fee covers a comprehensive doctor consultation, multiple prescriptions, medication delivery, physical therapy from the comfort of home, follow-up care, and unlimited dialogue with our care team and medical providers. Your medication costs (with convenient refills) are included as well.

During your comprehensive consultation and diagnosis, you'll only get matched to board-certified MDs with extensive backgrounds in musculoskeletal medicine. No physician assistants or nurse practitioners. You may cancel or switch treatment plans at any time by dropping us a note at care@dorsalhealth.com. There are no surprises, hidden fees, or long-term commitments. See pricing details.

Who are the physicians on the Dorsal platform?

Dorsal physicians are all licensed, board-certified doctors. They’re the same doctors you would ordinarily go see for spinal stenosis in an office, except that you can talk to them 24/7 from your phone or laptop. The Dorsal Medical Advisory Board, which designs and vets all clinical protocols, includes top professors, researchers, and clinicians from the most prestigious musculoskeletal hospitals in the world (Columbia, NYU Langone, Hospital for Special Surgery, and more). They’re experts on spine disorders with backgrounds spanning physiatry, pain medicine, orthopedic surgery, and more.

Is my health information secure?

Yes. Dorsal takes privacy and security very seriously, and the Dorsal platform complies with all laws and regulations around data integrity and health information security.
