Treatment <strong>for</strong> <strong>Spinal</strong> Stenosis:<br />
There are various <strong>treatment</strong>s available <strong>for</strong> spinal <strong>stenosis</strong> depending on how<br />
severe <strong>the</strong> patient's symptoms are and underlying medical conditions. In <strong>the</strong><br />
majority of cases, it can be treated without surgery. In some cases, conservative,<br />
non-surgical <strong>treatment</strong> (such as medication and physical <strong>the</strong>rapy) may provide<br />
sufficient nerve decompression and pain relief, but surgery is occasionally<br />
required to provide <strong>the</strong> room necessary <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> nerves to travel unencumbered.<br />
Initial <strong>treatment</strong>s include anti-inflammatory medications. These medications<br />
help reduce <strong>the</strong> inflammation and swelling around <strong>the</strong> nerves being compression.<br />
Epidural steroid (cortisone) injections can provide a larger dose of medications to<br />
reduce inflammation directly to <strong>the</strong> site of nerve compression. Physical <strong>the</strong>rapy<br />
can help streng<strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong> muscles surrounding <strong>the</strong> spinal column and take some of<br />
<strong>the</strong> pressure off <strong>the</strong> spine.
