Article Synopsis
- Spine pain affects up to 85% of people in their lifetime, with spinal stenosis being a severe form that often leads to surgical intervention instead of conservative treatments.
- A study involving 1,806 individuals found that an exercise-based physical therapy program significantly improved pain, disability, strength, and medication use across all severity levels of spinal stenosis, with no differences in outcomes between mild, moderate, and severe cases.
- The research suggests that exercise rehabilitation is effective for short-term treatment even in severe stenosis, but further studies are needed to assess its long-term effectiveness and cost efficiency.
