How to recover from spinal stenosis

The rehabilitation of spinal stenosis should be divided into two parts, if it is conservative treatment, generally after the regular drug treatment with physical therapy, spinal stenosis symptoms are relieved, the focus is on rehabilitation exercises. Taking the most common lumbar spinal stenosis in the clinic as an example, the most fundamental exercise method for this type of disease is to expand the volume of the spinal canal and reduce the symptoms of nerve compression. The most commonly used exercise method is the anterior lumbar rolling method, which is based on the principle that patients can passively expand the volume of the spinal canal and reduce the stimulation of nerve roots when they perform anterior lumbar rolling. In addition, acupuncture and moxibustion or tui na massage treatment can also be performed. If the patient has symptoms such as numbness, the best choice is acupuncture treatment, which can also be combined with electro-acupuncture therapy. For patients after spinal stenosis surgery, rehabilitation is mainly functional exercise, focusing on exercising the muscle strength of the operated area, which can be combined with physical therapy such as acupuncture and moxibustion when necessary.
