Can patients with lumbar spinal stenosis be treated conservatively? What are the results?

For most patients with lumbar spinal stenosis, conservative treatment is available. General treatment modalities include rest, massage and acupuncture, braking and medication.
In addition, appropriate aerobic and postural exercise and maintaining a good psychological state can also be effective in reducing symptoms and slowing the progression of the condition.
In cases where conservative treatment is not effective, surgery should be considered.
