Yes : First, only 15% of stenosis patients have progressive symptoms & 15% improve while the remainder stay the same. Simple treatment includes exercise with the spine in a flexed position such as biking or walking up an incline or rowing. Aquatic workouts can be helpful as can a brace with no lordosis built into it, .

Look into: Read about Traumeel. This is in no way my endorcement of this product for your condition but it has been helpful in osteoarthritis of the lower extremity joints. In terms of physical therapy, discuss your options with your doctor
