Frequently Asked Questions About Spinal Stenosis Treatment in Fort Worth

What is spinal stenosis?

Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. It most commonly occurs in the lower back (lumbar stenosis) or neck (cervical stenosis) and is often caused by age-related changes like arthritis, bone spurs, or thickened ligaments.

What are the symptoms of spinal stenosis?

Common symptoms include pain, numbness, or weakness in the legs or arms, difficulty walking or standing for long periods, leg cramping, and pain that improves when sitting or leaning forward. Lumbar stenosis often causes leg pain when walking (claudication), while cervical stenosis may cause balance problems or arm weakness.

Can spinal stenosis be treated without surgery?

Yes, most spinal stenosis cases respond well to non-surgical treatments. At WOW Spine, we focus on epidural steroid injections, nerve blocks, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications. Many patients experience significant improvement without ever needing surgery.

What treatments are available for spinal stenosis?

At WOW Spine, we offer epidural steroid injections, selective nerve root blocks, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation, spinal cord stimulation, physical therapy, and the MILD procedure. Dr. Martinez creates a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition and goals.

How long do spinal stenosis treatments last?

Results vary by treatment and individual. Epidural steroid injections typically provide relief for several weeks to months. Radiofrequency ablation can provide relief for 6-12 months or longer. Physical therapy benefits are ongoing with continued exercise. Dr. Martinez will discuss expected outcomes during your consultation.
