How To Treat Cervical Spinal Stenosis

Assistive Devices

When the pain caused by cervical spinal stenosis has become severe in nature, it may be difficult for patients to stand and walk, which is why they might want to consider using assistive devices to help. These devices can be everything from a walker or cane to braces. These assistive devices are commonly used by individuals with arthritis or similar conditions that can make it difficult to maintain standard movements. If the pain has reached the point where patients are unable to move well in their home, they'll definitely want to consider making use of some of these devices. 

The type of brace most commonly used with cervical spinal stenosis is a back brace, which provides a substantial amount of support to the back and spine while keeping the patient comfortable. The use of a back brace allows the core muscles surrounding the spine to relax. Walkers are specifically designed to provide individuals with more stability and balance while they walk.
