Spinal Stenosis: Symptoms and Treatment Options

Spinal stenosis is narrowing around the spinal cord or nerves. It can cause back or neck pain, numbness, weakness, and leg discomfort while standing or walking.

Treatment

Management may include physiotherapy, low-impact exercise, weight and activity management, and doctor-prescribed medicines. Targeted injections may provide temporary relief for selected patients. Decompression surgery may be recommended when walking is significantly limited, nerve symptoms worsen, or conservative care does not help.
