6 Signs You May Have Spinal Stenosis – And How Chiropractic Care Can Help

Spinal stenosis is a common condition that occurs when the spaces within your spine narrow, putting pressure on the nerves traveling through it. This can lead to pain, numbness, and other discomforts that impact your daily life.

If you're experiencing persistent back or neck pain, Aaron Corley, D.C. is here to help. As a mobile chiropractor, Dr. Corley provides expert spinal care to relieve pain and improve mobility—wherever you are.

1. Pain While Standing or Walking

If you experience discomfort when standing for long periods or walking, it could be a sign of spinal stenosis. Many patients find relief when they sit down or lean forward slightly, as this position temporarily increases space in the spine.

➡ How Dr. Corley Can Help: Chiropractic adjustments and spinal hygiene exercises can help improve spinal alignment, reducing pressure on the affected nerves.

2. Numbness or Tingling in the Arms or Legs

A narrowing spinal canal can press on nerves, leading to numbness, tingling, or a "pins and needles" sensation in the extremities. This is especially common in the lower back (lumbar stenosis) and neck (cervical stenosis).

➡ How Dr. Corley Can Help: Gentle spinal mobilization techniques can reduce nerve irritation, restoring proper function and sensation.

3. Weakness in the Arms, Legs, or Hands

If you’re dropping objects, struggling with balance, or experiencing muscle weakness, it may be due to nerve compression from spinal stenosis.

➡ How Dr. Corley Can Help: Chiropractic adjustments, combined with strengthening exercises, can help restore nerve function and prevent further weakness.

4. Lower Back Pain That Improves When Sitting

Many people with lumbar stenosis notice that sitting relieves their symptoms. This is because bending forward slightly increases space in the spinal canal, reducing pressure on nerves.

➡ How Dr. Corley Can Help: Spinal decompression techniques and postural correction exercises can help improve long-term relief without relying on medications.

5. Difficulty Walking or Maintaining Balance

If you feel unsteady when walking or notice that your legs tire quickly, it could indicate spinal stenosis. This can become progressively worse without proper care.

➡ How Dr. Corley Can Help: A personalized chiropractic care plan can enhance mobility, improve posture, and reduce nerve interference for better balance.

6. Loss of Bladder or Bowel Control (Severe Cases)

While rare, severe cases of spinal stenosis can lead to loss of bladder or bowel control. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention.

➡ How Dr. Corley Can Help: If symptoms are mild to moderate, chiropractic care may help manage pain and improve function. However, in severe cases, Dr. Corley will refer you to the appropriate medical professional for further evaluation.

Marijuana and FMCSA Rules

  Marijuana and FMCSA Rules By Aaron Corley, D.C., 941-539-3412 The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) enforces stringent drug testing regulations under 49 CFR Parts 382 and 40 to ensure safety in the transportation industry. Despite increasing state-level legalization of marijuana, FMCSA maintains a zero-tolerance policy for its use among commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, reflecting the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) stance that marijuana remains a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law. This creates significant implications for drivers, employers, and the industry. FMCSA mandates drug testing for CMV drivers in pre-employment, post-accident, random, reasonable suspicion, return-to-duty, and follow-up scenarios. A positive marijuana test—defined as THC levels at or above 50 ng/mL (initial test) or 15 ng/mL (confirmatory test)—results in an automatic failure. Consequences include immediate removal from safety-sensitive duties, a “prohibited” ...

Lose 30 lbs as a Truck Driver

Lose 30 lbs as a Truck Driver By Aaron Corley, DC Truck drivers are the lifeblood of our economy. But life on the road often means long hours sitting, greasy truck stop meals, and little time for exercise. I’ve met hundreds of drivers who feel stuck—physically and mentally—when it comes to their health. If that’s you, I’ve got good news: you can lose 30 pounds , and you don’t need a fancy gym or some magic diet. All you need is a simple plan, a little commitment, and a few tools to work with your lifestyle, not against it. As a chiropractor who works with DOT drivers daily, here’s what I recommend: 1. Cut the Sugar & Liquid Calories The number one enemy? Sugary drinks. That includes sodas, energy drinks, sweet tea, and even those "healthy" fruit juices. Goal: Cut out 1 soda or energy drink per day. Replace it with water or unsweetened iced tea. Result: This one change can drop 10–15 pounds over several months—without doing anything else. 2. Pack High-Protei...
