How is neurogenic claudication treated?

Non-surgical treatment of neurogenic claudication includes the use of medication to help control pain, physical therapy and steroid shots to help reduce inflammation. Your doctor may also recommend stretching, strengthening exercises and other types of activity to help improve your body’s ability to support itself. However, conservative treatment might not be an option for patients whose cases are more severe. If the conservative treatment options don’t work, or for patients whose cases are already more severe, surgery is the next option. Your provider can help explain your options so you can decide together what is best for you.
