Live-Stream "Der enge Spinalkanal - was tun?" - 17.06.2026, 16 Uhr

The topic of spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal) is the focus of the patient academy at the Department of Spinal Surgery at St. Josef-Stift Sendenhorst. Dr. Christian Brinkmann explains the causes, diagnosis, and treatment options for spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), a condition often caused by wear and tear. "The goal of treatment is to maintain mobility and improve quality of life," says Brinkmann. Often, spinal stenosis doesn't necessarily manifest as back pain, but also as discomfort in the legs, which those affected often don't associate with the spine. Increasingly shorter walking distances, unsteadiness while walking, and arm or leg pain are typical symptoms. In his illustrated presentation, Dr. Brinkmann describes how the correct diagnosis is made, which degenerative processes occur in the spine, and what treatment options are available. Furthermore, he demonstrates a surgical procedure on a model, showing how narrowing of the spinal canal and stabilization of spinal instabilities can be surgically corrected.
