Normal for many: Most of us get stenosis (tight spots) in the spine when we get older. Often it is found on an MRI and does not cause any trouble. If there is difficulty walking (having to lean forward on a shopping cart to take the weight/pressure off the back), this indicates spinal claudication and in that case steroid injections or laminectomy will help. If in doubt see your neurosurgeon for an evaluation.

Several: Treatments include non steroidal anti-inflammatory medications, physical therapy, chiropractic care, epidural steroid injections and avoiding strenuous activities. If conservative measures fail, surgery. Check out spine-health.Com.
