Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the passage around the spinal cord in the back. It is caused by various damages to the back including arthritis or injury. Treatments include medicine for pain, physical therapy and exercise, and surgery.
Yes, although surgery is usually not the first consideration. In most cases of people suffering from spinal stenosis, the usual treatment is either physical therapy, pain killers, or both. Physical therapy will help the patient build flexibility and stability in the spine, which will better condition the spine to handle the spinal stenosis. Pain killers will, obviously, help subside the pain. Patients may be able to get by with over the counter drugs like Tylenol or Advil, but if the pain is too much, a doctor may prescribe something stronger such as Vicodin. If all else fails, then surgery should be considered. Nowadays, surgery to fix spinal stenosis is a quick and minimally invasive procedure that should only require a few hours of recovery. It has a very high success rate as well.
