Spinal Stenosis Treatment
Expert Diagnosis and Minimally Invasive Relief Options
Spinal stenosis is a painful condition typified by narrowing within the spinal canal. It’s most common in adults older than 60. However, it can occur in younger individuals. The spinal issues that cause spinal stenosis can begin more than a decade before obvious symptoms appear. Therefore, proactive spinal care beginning in your 40s and 50s can be helpful for preventing future injuries.
Total Spine Institute offers various treatments for spinal stenosis. We recommend scheduling a comprehensive evaluation as soon as possible. That way, we can hopefully get your symptoms under control before they worsen. Whenever possible, we’ll begin with the least-invasive option we believe will be effective. If your body doesn’t respond as expected to the treatment, we’ll likely recommend a more intensive solution. Call us at (818) 616-4429 to schedule a consultation at one of our locations in Northern California, Southern California and Arizona.

What Is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a condition that commonly occurs with degenerative changes in the spine. People with this condition experience a narrowing of the spinal canal, which eventually places pressure on the spinal cord and its associated nerves. This can lead to varying degrees of pain, depending on the severity of the condition. Symptoms of spinal stenosis can impact various portions of the back or neck, depending on where the spinal canal narrowing occurs.
Spinal stenosis most frequently affects the lumbar spine, which leads to lower back pain. Cervical spinal stenosis is also common, typified by pain and other symptoms in the neck area.
What Are Spinal Stenosis Symptoms?
Some people with spinal stenosis may mistake their symptoms for run-of-the-mill spinal misalignment. However, as the condition progresses, symptoms tend to become more pronounced and chronic. They often include:
- Pain in the lower back or neck
- Shooting pain that travels down the buttocks and back of the leg (also known as sciatica)
- Loss of sensation in the extremities
- Uncomfortable tingling sensations in one or more extremities
- A feeling of heavy legs or arms
- Foot drop (when your foot falls heavily while walking)
Though rare, severe spinal stenosis can also lead to a condition called cauda equina syndrome. This syndrome causes loss of bowel and bladder control.
What Causes Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis can have various underlying causes, with the most common being osteoarthritis. As osteoarthritis progresses, it can stimulate the growth of bone spurs on the spine and lead to narrowing of the spinal canal. Other potential causes include herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, and injuries.
What Are the Different Spinal Stenosis Treatments?
Early spinal stenosis treatments tend to be minimally invasive. Therefore, we always recommend early intervention when possible. We also take a multi-faceted approach to spinal care. For example, we may recommend physical therapy combined with medication and lifestyle changes. Often, combination treatments deliver the best possible results.
More advanced spinal stenosis treatments include pain injections and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatments. Of course, we also offer minimally invasive surgery as a last resort. We utilize cutting-edge technology to guide our surgeries and achieve precise treatment outcomes. We also offer robotic-assisted surgeries, including the Vertiflex™ Procedure Superion™ Indirect Decompression System. Robotic technology is an exciting development in spinal surgery. It delivers enhanced procedural accuracy and minimizes recovery time.
The treatments mentioned above are just some of the options we offer. Your care plan will be personalized based on your unique needs, and we may recommend other treatments that are right for you.

Spinal Stenosis FAQs
What Are the Risks of Untreated Spinal Stenosis?
Unlike some types of back or neck pain, spinal stenosis doesn’t go away if left untreated. Instead, symptoms often continue to worsen, eventually leading to debilitating pain and immobility. Rarely, untreated spinal stenosis can lead to total loss of bladder and/or bowel control.
Can Physical Therapy Help Spinal Stenosis?
Yes, physical therapy can often reduce symptoms associated with spinal stenosis. It can improve muscle strength and flexibility while decreasing spinal canal compression. Physical therapy may be most effective during the early stages of the condition. However, it may also have a positive impact on spinal pain in later stages of spinal stenosis when combined with other treatments.
Is Surgery Necessary for Spinal Stenosis?
In some cases, surgery may be necessary for advanced spinal stenosis. However, the providers at Total Spine Institute will always favor noninvasive treatments first. If those treatments fail to provide satisfactory outcomes, we may recommend surgery.
