Treatment of Spinal Stenosis:

The Response of Modern Medicine
As with many chronic pain conditions, modern medical treatment traditionally consists of inject steroids into the area or to prescribe anti-inflammatory medications. However, in the long run, these treatments do more damage than good. Although cortisone shots and anti-inflammatory drugs have been shown to produce short-term pain benefit, both result in long-term loss of function and even more chronic pain by actually inhibiting the healing process of soft tissues and accelerating cartilage degeneration. Plus, long-term use of these drugs can lead to other sources of chronic pain, allergies and leaky gut syndrome.

If the symptoms fail to subside, surgery is often recommended, specifically a spinal fusion, which prevents that particular area from moving. And while pain is often lessened after surgery, it is usually only temporarily. The problem with this approach is that it does nothing to repair the lax ligaments that have allowed excess movement in the vertebrae, thus leading to muscle spasms and eventual spur formation, causing pain. In addition, the fact that most patients experience pain only during activity and not at rest points to ligament laxity. In addition, surgery may lead to additional complications.

The Natural Medicine Approach to Spinal Stenosis
A better approach is to strengthen the ligaments with Prolotherapy and prevent the vertebral instability that causes nerve compression and chronic pain. Chronic pain is most commonly due to tendon and ligament weakness, as is the case with spinal stenosis, or cartilage deterioration. The safest and most effective natural medicine treatment for repairing tendon, ligament and cartilage damage is Prolotherapy. In simple terms, Prolotherapy stimulates the body to repair painful areas. It does so by inducing a mild inflammatory reaction in the weakened ligaments and cartilage. Since the body heals by inflammation, Prolotherapy stimulates healing.

Prolotherapy offers the most curative results in treating chronic pain. It effectively eliminates pain because it attacks the source: the fibro-osseous junction, an area rich in sensory nerves. What's more, the tissue strengthening and pain relief stimulated by Prolotherapy is permanent!
