The Best Spinal Stenosis Doctor in NYC

Spinal stenosis is one of the most common causes of back pain. Fortunately, it is very treatable, especially if you choose a good spinal stenosis doctor.

What is Spinal Stenosis?

Spinal stenosis occurs when the spinal canal becomes narrower than usually, compressing the nerve roots or spinal cord. Many people with spinal stenosis have no symptoms; on the other hand, some people have debilitating symptoms that require immediate treatment.

Spinal stenosis occurs as a result of two main causes: damage to the intervertebral discs, or damage to the bony vertebrae. Spinal stenosis encompasses several conditions, including:
  • Herniated discs
  • Bulging discs
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Bone spurs
  • Spinal arthritis
  • Injury to the spine
  • Spinal tumors
Depending on the condition, several forms of treatment may be used. The first is non-surgical treatment such as rest, medication, and physical therapy. The second is surgery, which may be either open back surgery or laser spine surgery.

Most cases of spinal stenosis are not urgent, but injury to the spine and spinal tumors may require immediate, intensive treatment by a specialist.

Finding a Doctor


If you have symptoms of spinal stenosis, or have been diagnosed with the condition, it is time to seek treatment. Because of the delicate nature of the spine, treating spinal stenosis, especially surgically, is a task requiring precision and great skill. For this reason, it's important to choose a skilled spinal stenosis doctor.

If you are looking for a spinal stenosis doctor, don't be afraid to ask around before making a choice. Your doctor can be a good source of recommendations, as can friends and family. There are also numerous online resources allowing patients to describe their experiences with doctors - however, it's worth remembering that people are more likely to leave reviews about negative experiences than positive experiences.
