With medical care costs skyrocketing, and most people dealing with high insurance deductibles or co-pays, you need to be smart about where you decide to spend your hard-earned money on spinal stenosis and back pain treatment. The author was first diagnosed with spinal stenosis in 2010. He was in pain and couldn’t understand why it wouldn’t go away. The pain was getting worse and he was desperate for relief. He met with a surgeon who told him the only relief would come from spinal fusion surgery. Soon after the appointment, he decided to have the surgery. He had about five good years of relief. But then the spinal stenosis came back in 2015, spreading to the spinal column both above and below where he had the surgery. After dozens of medical procedures, alternative approaches, exercise, prescriptions, over-the-counter pills, creams, and more, he has summarized his findings in "Spinal Stenosis and Back Pain Relief Treatments Reviewed."
