Spinal stenosis affects many people, especially as they age. It happens when the spine’s internal spaces constrict, applying pressure to the nerves. The result is pain, numbness, weakness. For some, symptoms come and go. For others, the discomfort is constant, interfering with everyday life. Left untreated, it can seriously affect mobility and overall quality of life.
At Innovative Pain Solutions, we focus on minimally invasive spinal stenosis treatment to relieve pain without major surgery. Our approach aims to reduce discomfort and restore movement, helping patients get back to their routines as quickly as possible.
What is Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis develops gradually. Aging is a major factor. Over time, the spine’s structures—discs, ligaments—thicken or shift, pressing on nerves. Other causes include arthritis, past spinal injuries, or herniated discs. Symptoms vary based on severity and location but can include:
- Pain or cramping in the legs when walking or standing, relieved when sitting or bending forward.
- Arms or legs that are numb, tingly, or weak.
- Balance problems, making it difficult to walk normally.
If you recognize these signs, don’t ignore them. Innovative Pain Solutions offers advanced, minimally invasive treatments that are both safe and effective.
Minimally Invasive Treatments for Spinal Stenosis
Rather than immediately opting for surgery, we focus on interventional pain management techniques. These treatments target pain directly, minimizing recovery time and avoiding the risks of major procedures.
- Epidural Steroid Injections
A widely used option for spinal stenosis pain. Epidural steroid injections (ESIs) deliver anti-inflammatory medication right to the source, reducing swelling and relieving nerve pressure. Some patients feel better after just one injection. Others may need a few for longer-lasting relief.
- Minimally Invasive Decompression Surgery
When conservative treatments don’t provide enough relief, minimally invasive decompression surgery may be necessary. This procedure removes small sections of bone or tissue pressing on nerves. It involves small incisions, less trauma, and a faster recovery than traditional surgery.
- Sympathetic Nerve Block
In severe cases, when pain is stubborn and persistent, a sympathetic nerve block can be considered. This procedure injects an anesthetic near the affected nerves, interrupting pain signals before they reach the brain. It can provide significant relief for those who have tried other options with limited success.
- Spinal Cord Stimulation
For patients who have exhausted other treatments, spinal cord stimulation can be a last-resort option. A small device is implanted near the spine, sending electrical impulses to disrupt pain signals before they reach the brain. It doesn’t eliminate the cause of pain, but it can make it far more manageable.
Regenerative Medicine for Spinal Stenosis
At Innovative Pain Solutions, we also offer stem cell therapy and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy for musculoskeletal conditions, including chronic back pain from spinal stenosis.
Stem Cell Therapy: Uses the body’s own regenerative cells to repair damaged tissues. We offer this for chronic back pain, knee pain, and shoulder pain.
PRP Therapy: PRP involves drawing a patient’s blood, processing it to concentrate healing factors, and reinjecting it into the affected area. This method helps accelerate healing and is beneficial for neck pain, back pain, and joint pain (shoulder and knee joints).
These treatments allow the body to heal naturally, reducing pain without medication dependency or surgery.
