Spinal Stenosis Surgery New York
Spinal stenosis in the lumbar region can cause leg pain, known as claudication. This pain typically occurs during physical activity and is relieved by resting or sitting down. In cases where conservative treatments do not provide adequate relief and the symptoms are severe or progressive, surgery may be considered. Surgical options include decompression surgery (e.g., laminectomy) to relieve pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots and spinal fusion in cases where instability is a concern.
