Lumbosacral Degenerative Stenosis (LSDS) is a degenerative disease that may consist of one or more of the following abnormalities:
Lumbosacral spondylosis
Endplate sclerosis
Disc protrusion or herniation
Hypertrophy of the interarcuate ligament
Facet joint hypertrophy
Disc space collapse
Vertebral body misalignments (sacrum ventrally subluxated)
These changes can pinch nerves at the base of the spine and cause pain, weakness, reluctance to jump or climb, and sometimes even incontinence.
Spinal injections place medication directly at the problem area to reduce inflammation and pain.
In one study of 38 dogs, about 79% improved with treatment — and 53% were considered cured.
It’s another tool for pain in our toolbox.
