Non-Operative Treatments of Low Back Pain from Lumbar Spinal Stenosis

Описание: Lumbar Spinal Stenosis usually shows up as pain when walking, standing and sleeping, but feels better when bending over or sitting. This is generally caused by nerve compression in the lower back.

In this podcast, Dr. Brian Block, a pain management expert at Maryland Pain Specialists and UM St. Joseph Medical Center, talks about treatments for LSS, especially alternatives to surgery.
