There are many causes of spinal stenosis, such as severe herniated discs, osteophytes or ligamentous hypertrophy, ligamentous calcification and other lesions, and there are differences in treatment for different levels of spinal stenosis severity. For mild spinal stenosis, the symptoms are not obvious, and the impact on daily life is not obvious. Conservative treatments include acupuncture, massage, physical therapy, herbal fumigation, or small needle therapy. Numbness and pain can be treated with oral methylcobalamin or vitamin B, or even intramuscular injections of neurotrophic drugs such as rat nerve growth factor. However, if spinal stenosis compresses the nerves so significantly that you can’t walk too far, you can only consider surgical treatment, and only by doing a large open spinal decompression surgery can you reduce the compression of the nerve roots and alleviate the clinical symptoms from the root, and you should pay attention to the maintenance of the whole spine in your daily life after the surgery, or else it will easily lead to the pathology of the other segments.
