At Gerling Spine Care NY, we offer advanced surgical options for treating spinal stenosis, a condition where the spinal canal narrows and puts pressure on the spinal cord and nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, weakness, and in some cases, loss of function. Our team, led by experienced spine specialist Dr. Michael Gerling, is dedicated to providing personalized, effective solutions to relieve your symptoms and restore your quality of life.
Indications for Spinal Stenosis Surgery
Surgical intervention for spinal stenosis is typically recommended when:
- Conservative treatments, such as physical therapy, medications, or epidural injections, no longer provide relief.
- The symptoms are significantly affecting your quality of life.
- The condition is causing neurological deficits, such as weakness, numbness, or loss of function.
- The stenosis is severe and puts pressure on the spinal cord or nerve roots.
