Hi,
Multi-level spinal and foraminal stenosis can cause pain and discomfort, and treatment options may vary depending on the severity of the condition. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider about the best course of treatment for your specific condition.
Chiropractic care may be a safe and effective treatment option for some individuals with spinal stenosis, but it is important to make sure that the chiropractor you are seeing is licensed and qualified to provide treatment for this condition. They may use spinal adjustments, manual therapy, or other techniques to help alleviate pain and improve mobility.
Other treatment options for multilevel spinal and foraminal stenosis may include physical therapy, medications to manage pain and inflammation, and in some cases, surgery. It is important to work closely with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your specific needs.
In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain good posture, avoid activities that aggravate your symptoms, and engage in regular exercise or physical therapy to help improve strength and flexibility in the affected area.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
