When X rays, MRIs and Computer axial tomography (CAT) are common for even ordinary types of diseases, how an important one like spinal stenosis can escape these tests? A bone scan is also performed along with other tests.
In many cases the non-surgical treatment is not the permanent answer to treat spinal stenosis. The non-surgical methods may relieve your pain in some cases. But when the weakness and the numbness of the back and legs persist, the surgical operation is the only option left.
If the state of the patient’s health demands so, he may be operated immediately. Patient's preference is also one of the important factors in deciding about the operation.
The purpose of the surgery is simple and direct. That is, to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord or nerves and to maintain alignment and strength of the spine. The surgeon knows how to achieve the best results. The diseased parts need to be adjusted, removed and trimmed, wherever necessary. Various devices are used to strengthen the unstable segments.
In spite of the best efforts of the surgeon, operation is not the final answer. He will prescribe the post operation exercising regimen. But then with such methods the present damage can be healed to a great extent and the chances of future trouble is drastically reduced as well.
