Nonsurgical treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis


I treat many patients with lumbar spinal stenosis and it many time leads to leg pain and weakness with standing and walking. a new study in the medical journal Archives of Physical Medicines showed that a comprehensive conservative program demonstrated superior, large, and sustained improvements in walking ability and can be a safe nonsurgical treatment option for patients with sciatica due to lumbar spinal stenosis.
Has anyone had treatment for this condition?

CHIROPRACTIC CARE CARRIES A SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER SOCIAL COST WHEN COMPARED TO OPIOIDS.


Musculoskeletal pain, led by spinal disorders, costs the US healthcare system 874 billion dollars per year and is the most common cause of severe
long-term pain and disability. 
A recent study showed that the rate of opioid use was lower for recipients of chiropractic services (19%) as compared to non-recipients (35%).
Do you think more family doctors should inform their patients that chiropractic treatment would be an option for their pain?
