Tried to see above video, but it says it is private. Please help. What am I doing wrong?

[@lisac996]

I have cervical and lumbar spinal stenosis. I've been in PT for 2 years, where I've had Red Cord therapy, cervical decompression on a traction table, and plenty of stretching and strength training. I do pilates twice a week, which has helped so much. I'll be 54 in 10 days, and I've never been stronger. Excercise and excellent physical therapy absolutely changed my life.

[@madameisle]

I have had spinal stenosis for 8 years and 7 years ago I could no longer walk or stand. I was in a wheelchair. My son did some research and discovered an inversion table might help me. I was willing to try anything. So I ordered one online and started going on it twice a day for 10 minutes at a time. After 3 months I no longer needed a wheelchair to get around. Now, I go on the inversion table once a week & all the pain is gone. I highly recommend getting a table if you have spinal stenosis. It will eliminate your pain for good as long as you keep going on the table at least once a week, once your pain has subsided.

[@DrRowe]

Glad to hear you're getting some relief! I have a lot of patients that have gotten good results with using inversion tables for their back pain. If you're looking to take it one step further, check out Spinal Decompression Therapy. Here's a video I made that compares the two: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIfOq2d8hLhna68

My MRI revealed a congenitally tiny canal along with osteoarthritis in my lumbar spine. I wasn’t sedentary. I have been bedridden since Sept. ‘21 trying alternate approaches, but am about to give up and go for surgery. I just can’t take the pain, and have CRPS/RSD on top of it. No one will give me anything for pain, even though I’m a 63yo grandma without even one parking ticket.

[@joanevangelo6239]

Thank you for the information on spinal stenosis. I was thrown about 20 feet and fell on my back. My MRI showed that I have spinal stenosis. I was told I wasn't injured and now I am living with the pain. I went to a chiropractic doctor but was worried his method would make it worse. I wondered what to do but now I will go back to the chiropractic doctor.

I have severe congenital spinal stenosis with congenital neural Tube narrowing. I used to have pain. I have had this shots. Nothing worked well I have gone back to the gym. I do a lot of exercises to help me with the pain. The rowing machine has worked the best. I do not take and medication anymore. I know people that have had multiple surgeries and still in pain. Stretching and strengthening the abdominal muscles is of greatest help ever. I worked in a hospital nearly and or doctors office over 35 years. Sometimes people just want a doctor to wave a magic wand to make all their problems go away with any and all conditions. Yet they do not accept any responsibility for why the way they are. Especially diabetics and obesity and addictions. You have to work with your medical team. Listen to them. I am living proof that this works so well. You may need surgery. But you also need to follow their follow up instructions and that includes physical therapy. It works. The human body is miraculous when you treat it right.

[@Chiroman527]

Dr . MIKE, You reinforce much of the info out there. My question pertains to the decompression / traction therapy. I have spinal issues including stenosis and facet joint in the neck and lumbar spine. Also scoliosis and chronic pain and stiffness for many years. I have a 1 inch shorter right leg resulting from a fractured femur in 1966 at age 15. Im now 69. That single trauma has affected my well being to the Nth degree. The cricki g and cracking in my spine is almost unbelievable. I've been to at least 6 spinal and neuro surgeons all indicated No Surgery for the lumbar area, maybe only maybe a C4 to C7 ADF (?). The neck is solid like a rock, loss of the curve. Shoulder pain, tingling in my arms on and off , muscle cramping particularly in the calves. It really does SUK. In 2019, I started decomlression treatments for both cervical and lumbar with a Chiropractor in White Plains, NY. After 15 treatments or so (Cigna and others do not cover this , but will cover simple traction), i felt only minor relief. After one cervical session, driving home, felt a sudden "feeling" on the leftvside of my face into my ear. Then started to have major tinnitus in both ears worse in the left. Lasted steadiky for over 2 weeks. I do and did suffer with tinnitus as well as sinusitis for years. I stopped the sessions. Recently, found a chiropractor who has focused more on the Atlas and Axis verterbrea. That seems a bit more promising. My research recently on line uncovered info about the affects to the The Vagus Nerve . That 10 th cranial nerve is the driving force to the bodys functions .

I have degenerated discs, bone spurs and and a compressed spinal cord. A lot of stuff going on. Not really sure what to do. I am supposed to get surgery, but the neurosurgeon put me on nerve pain meds, then abruptly stopped them after telling me to take them around the clock. Absolutely horrible withdrawal.

Dear Dr. Michael, if only I am living near your clinic I would certainly look for your help. But unfortunately I am a Chinese Singaporean living in Singapore, which is more than 20,000 miles from the US. In my situation, I am 81 years old and have been suffering from Spinal stenosis, which was discovered since April 2015. And last month March 2018, I was told that I required major surgery of the Cervical spine immediately failing which I may ended up a cripple. In my situation, I only suffer difficulty walking more than 200m, as I need to stop or sit down but not due to any pain as I am a gym practitioner 5 days a week. I just cannot stand up straight walking but bending down.

Hi @SpineCare Decompression and Chiropractic Center , Dr. Rowe Thank you for all your videos, I really enjoy them and use many of your exercises. I'm not sure if you will see this but if you do I was just wondering in your experience, when is it you recommend surgery for someone with cervical spinal stenosis? I understand that stenosis is common for many and for some people surgery is not necessary at all, but for some people it is. I am getting so much conflicting advice from medical professionals and I do not know who to trust. I want to avoid surgery at all cost, but I also know my symptoms have been getting much worse lately and on a recent MRI they say I have a herniated disk and Moderate to Severe Spinal Stenosis on my C5/C6 vertebrae. I am 28 years old and am a very active athlete in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. My main concern is I don't want to risk having surgery if it is unnecessary, and could possibly cause me more problems down the road, but I also do not want to risk putting it off too long and possibly becoming paralyzed/losing strength or dexterity. My chiropractor says he doesn't think I need it because I still have strength, although every time I cough my arms tingle/feel asleep/numb. I just don't want to put it off and eventually lose strength. My regular doctor says he doesn't think I am going to become paralyzed out of nowhere, but he does not see me getting better without surgery. I talk to a surgeon soon, and I am sure he is going to tell me I need surgery ASAP. I truly don't know the right answer. I respect my chiropractor and I understand and am thankful that he is trying to help me not be frightened or bullied into having surgery, but I also don't want to risk becoming permanently damaged, and I am tired of living in pain. Once again I don't know if you will see this, but if you do, I understand that all individuals cases are different, but overall, at what point do you see physical therapy/non surgical treatments no longer seem to be working and you would recommend one of your clients to seek surgical intervention? Thank you for your time, and sorry for the novel. I am just trying to get as much input as possible from as many professionals as possible.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, so Spinal Stenosis is not necessary from bone spur, right? From MRI, I am diagnosed with protruded disc that causing spinal canal stenosis. I looked up Google to found out that protruded is another term for herniation. So my spinal stenosis is not from bone spur?

I'd look into conservative treatments such as chiropractic, physical therapy, and acupuncture. They may help. Since you've had spinal fusion, traction-based treatments are contraindicated.

My mother has been dealing with spinal stenosis for the past 5 years. Found out she was actually born with a narrow spinal cord. She's had injections numorous time which didn't work. She's had two spinal fusions and a stimilator put in. Which as of the end up of the month is getting removed. I wish I could see or hear form someone else and get their personal story. I've been helping her through everything and it kills me that all the options she has tried has failed...

I also went to a muscle disorder doctor. He was recommended he twisted me up to try and move my back muscles. Nothing my next move is a trial of the back stimulator. But most people have no idea what having chronic back pain. And I do complain about it because it helps my mine. Don t ask but it does. Any other options let me know.🤕

[@hope4humanity222]

Can I have decompression like this if I’ve had a fusion with hardware? My stenosis is in the area above my hardware, for 2 levels.

[@hernanserrano3464]

Dr Rowe. My MRI shows I have spinal stenosis at L4-L5 and L5-S1. I also have moderate disc bulging at both toes levels. My symptoms are burning and throbbing pain from my right gluteus muscle down the lateral aspect of my right calf and down to my foot. It’s like a toothache that won’t go away. I also have tingling in my left calf but no pain. A local doctor want to do a ALIF and Decompression. I’m reluctant to do the ALIF (fusion ) but may consider the decompression. However, my symptoms are Agra aged by sitting down or laying down, as opposed to walking and having to lean over a grocery cart. Although my symptoms don’t match the classic sings of lumbar stenosis ( identified by MRI), should I approach my problem as someone who does have stenosis ?

Understand how traction opens up the space in the spine but how does it keep the spaces open after treatment and how does it help osteophytes?

[@DrRowe]

Osteophytes are permanent. Traction helps open up the foraminal openings, which could make it less likely a bone spur will come into contact with a spinal nerve. This removal of pressure from the spinal discs will help keep the spaces open after treatment.

[@derpfrog5625]

If I had money I would do 2 things at once . Decompression therapy sessions lasting 2 hours in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Open the discs up and force oxygen and nutrients into the disc promoting healing and hopefully regain some height and relief of the nerve roots. Hopefully this treatment along with a custom nutrition plan could see people not have surgery.( Although surgery is a good thing if you suffer pain and other options are exausted) Hyperbaric oxygen + traction/decompression + time = great results?

Is chiropractic treatment safe for someone with osteoporosis? Will appreciate your feedback. I was diagnose with osteoporosis recently. I am also experiencing symptoms of spinal stenosis. I need help to relieve the pain.

[@DrRowe]

I prefer low impact adjustments with patients that have been diagnosed with osteoporosis. The type I use is flexion-distraction, also called COX technique. It doesn't involved forceful manipulations of the back. Also, traction is very useful under these circumstances since it, likewise, doesn't involve a lot of force to the spine.

Not even the 160lb force spinal decompression machines use enough force to decompress the spine for more than a day.

So I can help my bulging disc with a traction table? I have stenosis in my l3 to s1 Can’t walk, and stand properly. Loss of balance and keep falling. I need a miracle worker

[@DrRowe]

Traction has a good track record on treating bulging disc successfully. This is something you'll want to discuss with your local doctor or chiropractor about. Thanks for watching.

[@karenfoxterrier1455]

Also what about stretches from cervical spinal stenosis and some disk deneration in C5 C6

[@circa1890]

Hello Karen, I've used the McKenzie Method for years with C5 & C6 when they bulge.. using the cervical roll pillow to sleep and chin tucks several reps a day till the discs are back in place.

[@glowglitter9066]

@@stephenfiore9960 I get you...Surgery costs a bomb. I was quoted $19k-34k usd by several docs, depending on the type of surgery to be chosen. That said, the possible consequences of failed chiro on cervical stenosis are way too severe.

[@stephenfiore9960]

Glow glitter...I failed to mention Medicare paid for all but about $500.00 if I recall correctly because my wife was a senior citizen in the USA. She was semi-paralyzed before the surgery. She was able to recover mostly from the surgery. It was a slow recovery. What started the problem is she picked up a heavy water melon. I learned most everyone gets stenosis and bone spurs in some form as we get older. There are some great KZbin videos on this. Also look up non-surgical “spinal decompression”. God Bless You

[@areguapiri]

Try to stay away from surgery on the neck.

[@cyndimanka]

I have spent three weeks watching video and at no time did anybody ever say chiropractic helped? In fact they said it made it worse or didn’t help at all.

Will a disc bulge cause spinal stenosis?

Yes, it is a cause of spinal stenosis.
