Treatment for spinal stenosis?

4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

None to surgery : Up to 20% of the population will have stenosis by imaging studies by age 60. A lot have little to minimal symptoms. Treatment can include: medication, exercise/physical therapy, zero degree lordosis brace, epidural steroid injections & if all treatment fails & symptoms warrant it, surgery in terms of decompressing the neural elements by a laminectomy in the lower back & several options in neck.

Multiple: There are multiple operative and non operative treatments for ski all stenosis. Probably the most common non operative treatment is an epidural steroid injection and operative is a spinal decompression.
