Varies: Treatment options very. I would first recommend conservative treatment. This may include physical therapy along with anti-inflammatory medications. Epidural steroid injections can also help. Ultimately if all fails surgery maybe warranted. See your orthopedic spinal specialist for a true evaluation.

Many options: Sometimes just observation if just mild symptoms. Medication, exercises and physical therapy are options as well as pain management with epidural steroid injections . If nonop care fails and symptoms are severe enough, surgery is an option.

Many options: Spinal stenosis can be treated conservatively with physical therapy and lumbar epidural steroid injections. Your spine specialist can thoroughly evaluate you and help coordinate conservative care if appropriate. Surgery is usually helpful if all else fails. Check out spine-health.Com.
