As we age, we undergo numerous changes that can affect our mobility and overall quality of life. One condition that affects more older adults is spinal stenosis. Here are some treatment options for spinal stenosis tailored to older adults:
- Medications: Medications such as pain relievers and muscle relaxants can help to manage symptoms effectively. Work with your healthcare providers to ensure that the medications are safe.
- Physical Therapy: Customized exercises can help to strengthen the muscles around the spine, improve flexibility, and reduce pain.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Minimally invasive procedures such as epidural steroid injections can provide relief by reducing inflammation and relieving pressure on the nerves.
