10 Causes of Spinal Stenosis
Cause #7: Excess Calcium
Calcium is a critical mineral involved in the development of healthy bones and teeth. But excess calcium can lead to various disease states or structural abnormalities that can limit optimal body function. In the case of bones, excess calcium can promote the formation of calcium spurs and deposits.
These calcium deposits can reduce the size of the space around the spinal nerve thereby causing nerve compression. This then leads to symptoms in the parts of the body supplied by the affected nerves.
