Conservative Care for Spinal Stenosis in Austin
Spinal stenosis refers to narrowing within areas of the spine and can have different causes and degrees of severity. Symptoms can include back or neck pain, leg symptoms, walking intolerance or neurologic complaints.
Conservative Spine Care
Age, anatomy, symptom severity and neurologic status matter. Some patients are reasonable candidates for conservative management while others need specialist evaluation. Some patients with stenosis ask about non-surgical decompression; we evaluate candidacy carefully and avoid presenting decompression as a universal solution. Progressive neurologic symptoms or concerning findings warrant timely medical evaluation.
