It depends...: It all depends on the degree of the stenosis and if it is affecting any nerve roots. It would definitely help with chronic back problems to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous work but avoiding this does not guarantee the pain will be completely eliminated.Physical therapy and a routine of good stretching exercises could relief the pain as well. However to what degree depends on how bad DDD is.
