A recent study showed that people over 50 with Spinal Stenosis do as well with non-surgical care as surgery.
Patients who met the criteria of surgery were divided into 2 groups, one treated with surgery and the other treated with exercise and hands-on treatments. After 2 years the surgical group was no better than the ones who didn't have surgery.
Our practice uses a combination of non-surgical treatments for people with spinal stenosis. These include Chiropractic adjustments, spinal mobilization, traction, exercise, and nerve glides.
