The most common and probably the best spinal stenosis treatment is physical therapy. The goal of this therapy is simply to strengthen the muscles in the back and abdomen. This helps to improve the overall flexibility of the spinal column, too. Some therapy can be done on your own, at home, but only once you have learned the proper way to exercise. Stretching, on the other hand, is another good addition that you can do at home. It can help to relieve daily pain, but will not fully treat the condition.

For those who have been diagnosed with the condition, and have been told they need physical therapy, speak with your therapist about exercises you can do from home. You do not want to guess on these since you can easily over-strain making a bad situation worse. Still, you should be able to learn the proper exercises to do to help improve the overall condition.

Other spinal stenosis treatment options are up to your doctor. Medications are often administered to help with relief from mild symptoms. For those with chronic pain, injections can also be in use to stop the pain.  The injections are costly yet they are one of the best tools for reliving the pain. If these treatments do not work, your doctor may recommend a surgery to decompress the spinal column.
