spinal stenosis treatment plans

Epidural injections are useful for people who’re suffering from severe, painful symptoms. However, the relief from epidurals only lasts for 2 or 3 weeks, and the long-term efficiency of epidurals beyond that is arguable.

Spinal <strong>stenosis</strong> is a consequence of the space between the spine being crowed<br />

out from excessive tissue or bone growth. The consequence is nerve swelling<br />

& damage guiding to excruciating symptoms such as stiffness, tingling, pain<br />

and inflammation.<br />

Spinal <strong>stenosis</strong> can happen at any point of your spine, but is most common in<br />

the lower back & neck area. Nearly 75 percent of the cases affect the lower<br />

back region. Have you or a loved one recently been diagnosed? If so, read on<br />

to learn important myths and facts about treating <strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong>.


Surgery is the only form of cure:<br />

Though <strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong> surgery has proven to be a productive<br />

method, but there’re also many non-invasive <strong>treatment</strong> procedures that<br />

your doctor may recommend you to engage in before surgery. Some of<br />

the non-invasive Spinal <strong>stenosis</strong> <strong>treatment</strong> options include:<br />

· Chiropractic Treatment<br />

· Physical therapy<br />

· Epidural Injections<br />

· Prescription medication<br />

· Weight loss & proper diet<br />

· Spinal Decompression Therapy


Exercise is discouraged:<br />

This is a partial truth. The incorrect types of workout or too much<br />

activity can actually make your <strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong> symptoms to<br />

deteriorate. Long periods of standing or physical exertion seem to<br />

prompt flare ups for many people. In addition, short bursts of intense<br />

activity can lead to pain and injury.<br />

The best type of activity is low-intensity, low-impact exercise such as<br />

swimming, elliptical training, yoga and biking. It is also very important<br />

to stretch before and after exercise.


It affects only elder people:<br />

Spinal <strong>stenosis</strong> does affect older people, but those aged 30 to 50<br />

or people who’ve injured their back are also at risk. Spinal<br />

<strong>stenosis</strong> usually targets active, healthy inviduals who’re otherwise<br />

in great health.


Only anti-inflammatory medications have been found to help with<br />

<strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong> <strong>treatment</strong>:<br />

Anti-inflammatory medications play a large role in the supervision of<br />

<strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong> symptoms, but that's not the only type of medication<br />

that's often prescribed to patients. Some people with <strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong> have<br />

found relief through anti-depressants, which have been found to reduce<br />

pain. Muscle relaxers are also useful in <strong>spinal</strong> <strong>stenosis</strong> <strong>treatment</strong> <strong>plans</strong>.
