Not all spinal stenosis leads to symptoms requiring treatment such as surgery. However, if you have symptoms, you can undergo some of the conservative treatments such as pain medications, physical therapy, spinal injections or other alternative treatments to avoid surgery. You must remember, however, that these measures cannot reverse the aging process of the spine and usually only provide temporary relief. And if you have moderate to severe symptoms you should consult a spine surgeon so that you can make an informed decision about your condition as to whether you should have surgery. There is a simple surgical procedure that is highly effective for symptoms of spinal called lumbar laminectomy.
