Title: Spinal Stenosis Treatment


1
How Spinal Stenosis Can Be Treated In a Better
Way?
  • Spinal stenosis is a term which refers to the
    narrowing of spinal canal. The one who suffers
    from this condition knows how painful it is. Some
    of its symptoms comprises of difficulty while
    walking, numbness, etc. There are many ways for
    the treatment of spinal stenosis followed by
    doctors to cure it.

  • When you first find the symptoms of this
    condition, a rheumatologist is the first person
    that you need to visit. The pain is due to the
    compression of the spine which is quite similar
    to the rheumatic pain. The nerve that gets
    pressed because of the compression of the spine
    makes you feel pain in the specific part of the
    body with which the nerve is associated with.
    However, a rheumatologist may help you, but not
    to the full extent.

Spinal Fusion
  • It is a surgical technique that is used to join
    two or more vertebrates. Here, supplementary bone
    tissue either from the patient (auto graft) or
    from the donor (allograft) is used in conjunction
    with the natural bone growth processes to fuse
    the vertebrae.

Laminetomy
  • It is the most common surgery that is performed
    to correct the lumbar spinal stenosis. The major
    objective of this type of surgery is to create
    more rooms for the roots of the nerves that have
    been encroached upon by the facet joints of the
    vertebrae.
