Surgery: Surgical decompression is an effective treatment for spinal stenosis. If you have what is called neurogenic claudication with lumbar stenosis , consultation with a spine surgeon may be useful.

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.

A few hints: Spinal stenosis is an anatomical structural issue, and does not respond to shots or even most conservative measures. Surgery may be useful. You will find that some exercises in certain postures will work better than other postures, such as bending forwards vrs more upright. Pool exercises can be relatively comfortable, and a physical therapist can supervise and gradually reach land exercises.
