Managing lumbar stenosis pain includes heat/ice therapy, massage therapy, topical pain relievers, and over-the-counter medications.

When nonsurgical treatments have failed to manage the symptoms caused by spinal stenosis, various surgical options may be considered.

Signs and symptoms of spinal stenosis can vary. An accurate diagnosis is needed to rule out other potential causes of pain and/or neurological deficits.

Spinal stenosis treatment options include exercise, activity modification, epidural injections, medication and spinal stenosis surgery.

Spine surgery is considered for synovial cysts if conservative treatments fail. It involves cyst removal and may include fusion.

Symptoms of central canal stenosis vary based on location and severity, often causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the neck, arms, or lower body.
