Treatment Options:
Cortisone
In cases of cervical spinal stenosis that cause serious inflammation that isn’t relieved with the use of over-the-counter medication, cortisone can be used prudently for symptom relief.
NSAIDs
Over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications can provide tremendous relief to the inflammation and pain associated with spinal stenosis. While medication will relieve the symptoms, proper care must be taken to ensure the cervical spinal stenosis isn’t exacerbated. Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine recommends treatment plans for spinal stenosis on an individual basis.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapy for cervical spinal stenosis is focused on the recovery and strengthening of the neck to decrease the likelihood of future injury. Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine will create a customized therapy plan based on the recovery progression.
