Chiropractic eases conditions like spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis is everywhere today. Why? An aging population.

Chiropractic care is a solution for many spinal stenosis pain patients.

Lumbar Spinal Stenosis 

Lumbar spinal stenosis may be the result of a variety of issues like a disc herniation, disc bulge or contained disc, synovial cyst. Anything that shrinks the spinal canal area resulting in less space for the spinal nerves and other elements may bring about spinal stenosis and pain. Surgeons and medical device companies offer surgical means to reduce spinal stenosis and open the spinal canal space12. Conservative care back pain specialists like chiropractors and your Baton Rouge chiropractor at Medical Spine and Sports Injury and Rehab Centers offer non-surgical means - like Baton Rouge spinal manipulation and mobilization which reportedly keep the disc healthy by improved water flow and diffusion (1) - to do the same thing: diminish spinal stenosis and open the spinal canal area.

Surgical vs Non-Surgical Care 

A comparison of surgical and conservative treatments of spinal stenosis explains that conservative care is more positive. At 6 months post-care – surgical or non-surgical – no significant differences are reported in the spinal stenosis patients. At 12 and 24 months post-care, the surgical spinal stenosis patients report higher disability scores. Surgical spinal stenosis patients underwent higher complication rates than the conservative care spinal stenosis patients.
