Spinal stenosis treatment for active people, including those who still want to play basketball, starts with optimizing the muscles that surround your spine so they are strong and coordinated, acting like the world’s greatest back brace. If that is not enough, we may do epidural steroid injections because a lot of spinal stenosis symptoms are due to inflammation. If that does not work, then we look at a decompression. Traditionally that has meant a big laminectomy, but you can do laminectomies minimally invasively with endoscopes, more of a hemilaminectomy, to make more room for the nerves. Recovery is very quick and it is life changing because having a tourniquet around your waist when you are trying to run around can be very limiting. There are lots of good solutions nowadays for active people who want to stay active for a very long time. Follow for more on spine health and staying active.
