In the medical field, stenosis means the abnormal
narrowing of a body channel. When combined with
the word spinal, it defines a narrowing of the
bone channel occupied by the spinal nerves or the
spinal cord. 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.

The most commonly performed spinal stenosis
surgery is for lower back pain and leg pain due
to sciatic nerve compression in the lumbar
spine.Thoracic spinal stenosis is less common
than lumbar or cervical spinal stenosis as the
thoracic spine is less mobile and, therefore,
less susceptible to the wear and tear.

Spinal stenosis surgery complications do occur
and should be considered prior to making a
decision to have surgery for back pain, neck
pain, or other issue arising from spinal canal
narrowing (spinal stenosis). Though the
compaction ratio is nominal but few of them are
critical, the complications include Nerve root
damage, Cerebrospinal fluid leak, Infections.
