Go to the Spine Health Support Group. Jamie Olson | @jamienolson | Sep 4, 2017. Hi @leslie324, I wasn't able to find much on laser treatment for spinal stenosis. However, here is an article by Paul Huddleston, III, M.D., Orthopedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN about nonsurgical treatment for spinal stenosis- https://newsnetwork ...
My pain Doctor has sent me to an orthopaedic surgeon for spinal stenosis tomorrow. As I am a caregiver, being laid up for a time would create problems. I wondered if anyone out there has ever tried laser therapy for spinal stenosis. I am an active 75 year old. Leslie324
Since several of you have asked about my laser therapy, today was my second visit. I will admit that I had some days of major pain after visit #1. The only reason I went back was because I am out of options for any other solution. Today, however, I had both class 4 laser treatment and spinal decompression.
One common cause of back pain is the narrowing of the spinal canal, called " spinal stenosis." Spinal stenosis is categorized by where it occurs in the spine. Cervical stenosis is the narrowing of the spine in your neck. Lumbar stenosis is when narrowing of the spine occurs in the lower back, which is the most common type of spinal stenosis.
Yes. I certainly experienced all the bowel symptoms you described. I was diagnosed with advanced lumbar arthritis + scoliosis, I had L2-5 decompression and fusion, and now (six month later) all those unfortunate bowel issues are 100% gone. Appears there's a good connection there.
Lythesis is sliding downward. litis is inflammation . losis word is problem referring medically to the wearing down of the spinal vertebra. Any one of these can cause pressure on the nerves exiting the spine. These conditions can cause periperal neuropathy resulting in foot twitching, restless leg or numbness.
Crockett here. I have tried virtually every known therapy -- steroid injections at the nerve root (spine), physical therapy, pharmaceuticals (tramadol and gabapentin currently), acupuncture, yoga, chiropractic, etc. I stay active, keep moving, and control my weight. I know a TENS unit can be a hassle to apply, wear, and recharge.
My husband has had the nerve burning treatment and it helps. It has been over a year now. He had steroid injections before this treatment that lasted six months or so. The doc said the nerves would grow back and he still has pain, but the procedure helped. He will probably repeat the treatment when the pain worsens and he feels he needs it again.
This treatment uses wavelengths of light to treat painful and debilitating conditions. This treatment is given to our patients to help manage the pain from Neuropathy. MLS Laser Therapy helps Neuropathy by releasing endorphins that reduce pain, reduces swelling, increases blood flow and stimulates repair and regrowth of nerve tissue.
From my understanding, it is something screwed on to outside of the spine to act as a spacer that would aid in maintaining space between vertebrae (or what the space occupied by discs should be). Members are saying it may not be appropriate for severe stenosis.
