What are the treatment options and general advice for lumbar and spinal stenosis?

Injection & surgery: When spinal stenosis is moderate in degree responds nicely to exercise-particularly when there is instability and subluxation. When the stenosis is severe, an injection will give temporary relief, but surgery is the treatment of choice. This is an example of surgery allowing the patient to walk and subsequently, allowing the patient to restore vitality in his cardiovascular and cognitive function.

Common problem: For patients that have failed appropriate conservative care, surgery can be very beneficial. A thorough work up is required. The most common surgical treatment is a laminectomy. The success rate is good. Check out spinehealth .Com.
