Lumbar Canal Stenosis Treatment

Lumbar canal stenosis treatment is designed to alleviate nerve compression in the spinal column in the lower back. The lumbar spinal canal acts as a sheath that protects a variety of nerve roots that horsetail from the spinal cord before extending throughout the body. Over the years, this canal can become narrowed and compress the nerve roots that it is supposed to protect. This narrowing can usually be traced to normal spinal deterioration, such as herniated discs, bulging discs, arthritic tissue, and bone spurs. Lumbar canal stenosis treatment options vary widely depending on the severity and source of the patient’s symptoms.

Different Options

If it is determined that the patient is suffering from lumbar canal stenosis, treatment will usually first be attempted conservatively. These treatments may include:

Hot/cold therapy
Pain medication
Epidural injections
Physical therapy or stretching techniques
Massage
Chiropractics
Acupuncture

Surgery

One of the difficulties of spinal canal stenosis treatment is that in many cases stenosis is the culmination of years of wear and tear on the spinal column, and conservative treatments won’t be effective. If the patient does not respond to noninvasive treatments, spinal canal stenosis surgery may be recommended to create space in the lumbar canal for the nerves to travel comfortably.

At Laser Spine Institute, our orthopedic surgeons specialize in a revolutionary form of minimally invasive lumbar canal stenosis treatment wherein we accomplish nerve decompression during an outpatient procedure.

Please note: Laser Spine Institute currently does not perform endoscopic procedures on the thoracic spine.
