Spinal Stenosis Treatment

Up to 90% Success Rate

Specialist Spinal Stenosis Treatment London

Spinal Stenosis is when the spinal canal narrows. This can happen when the spinal cord becomes compressed, usually as a result of a disc bulge or bone spurs. It comes on gradually over time and can be caused by having degenerative disc disease. Although symptoms don’t always appear straightaway, patients will eventually begin to feel pain in the legs coming from the compression in the spine. This condition usually comes on after the age of 50.

When diagnosed with Spinal Stenosis, it’s crucial to find out the direct cause of the condition. If the problem has been caused by a herniated disc, the prognosis can be good with the right treatment. However, if the condition is down to the development of bone spurs, treatment can be much more difficult. Likewise, if Spinal Stenosis has gone too far, non-surgical therapies may not help.

Symptoms of Spinal Stenosis

As a result of the narrowing of the spinal canal, nerves in the spine become compressed and can cause symptoms to spread into other areas of the body. This might be a radiating pain into the back, buttocks, legs, or feet.

Symptoms caused by Spinal Stenosis can appear as cramping or numbness in those areas as well. In severe cases, the pain or weakness caused by the condition could even stop you from being able to walk.

Pain from spinal stenosis usually comes on during certain activities, mainly walking or standing for long periods of time
As opposed to a bulging disc, many will feel the pain in both legs
Relief is usually achieved by resting or by keeping the spine in a flexed position

Our Spinal Stenosis Treatments

Depending on the amount of degeneration, spinal stenosis is usually treatable without the need for surgical intervention. If Spinal Stenosis has been caused by a disc herniation, Spinal Decompression therapy can be an effective treatment. Combining treatment therapies can also help you get the best results, depending on the severity of the condition, use of laser or shockwave therapy may be beneficial.

Spinal Decompression helps to ease the pressure from the nerves by using a gentle traction on the spine
In cases that respond well to Decompression, Shockwave therapy can then be used to help break down the scar tissue in the spine to improve movement and flexibility. This will help the discs to continue to heal even after the decompression therapy has finished.
In more severe cases, it may be helpful to have an initial course of laser treatments to kickstart the healing process and reduce sensitivity in the area.
Prescribed exercises can also help by strengthening the area, which improves stability and makes walking much easier.

"Since September 2025 I have been visiting Proback Clinic and this has changed my life in the most positive way. At the clinic I have been greeted with such warmth and caring staff. From the reception staff to all the physiotherapists. I have been in chronic pain for over 30 years with spinal stenosis, sciatica, osteoarthritis. Over the years I have had numerous amounts of cortisone injections in the past and this has made back issues with the muscles weak. Ayushi Patel is my physiotherapist she has been treating me with shockwave therapy. She is very professional so very caring, and she explains everything. Ayushi recommended me to have prolozone therapy. I have had a few radio frequency and currently having Prolozone Therapy by Mudasir Hussain which has made remarkable improvements in my lower back. The pain has minimised drastically. He is so professional, caring and very gentle and explains everything in detail and always asking if I am ok as I have fear with needles. I am on my fourth session with the Prolozone injections and I feel so brighter, more flexible and walking more, sleeping better and not feeling so down and depressed. I don't feel so heavy in my body and legs too. I am visiting the gym more too to gain strength in legs and back. Also, I used to pray sitting on the chair, now I am standing praying and bending down to pray. On the whole I feel like a new person with a new lease of life. I have recommended my dad who has knee problems and he is currently having the injections in his knee and he is walking better and in not too much pain. I recommending a few people and to anyone who is in chronic pain to at least try these therapies as you will be pain free for a while. I haven't been taking medication either. Thank you to all the Proback team."

"I had a truly fantastic experience at Proback Victoria and cannot recommend this clinic highly enough. I suffer from spinal stenosis with scoliosis, which caused severe and persistent pain in my right leg and had a significant impact on my daily life.We initially tried shockwave therapy and back extension treatments, but unfortunately these were not effective for me. Thanks to the expertise of Dr Christian Allard, the team then introduced prolotherapy, which proved to be an absolute game changer.I would also like to sincerely thank Mohammed Mudasir Hussain for following me throughout this journey with great care, expertise and valuable advice.I am now at the end of my treatment and can honestly say that my pain is almost completely gone. The entire team has been outstanding — professional, kind and genuinely supportive. The clinic is spotless, well organised and very welcoming.While the treatment is not inexpensive, it is absolutely worth every penny for the results achieved. I would not hesitate to return if needed. A huge thank you to the whole team for making such a positive difference to my quality of life."

Honest Expectations - What We Can and Cannot Offer for Spinal Stenosis

We want to be straightforward with you about spinal stenosis – because it is a condition where it is important to set realistic expectations rather than overpromise.

Spinal stenosis is caused by a structural narrowing of the spinal canal – typically the result of disc degeneration, bone spur formation, thickened ligaments and facet joint enlargement accumulating over time.

We cannot reverse the structural narrowing itself – no conservative treatment can physically widen a narrowed spinal canal.

What we can do – and what our treatments consistently achieve – is significantly reduce the pain, nerve irritation and functional limitation that the stenosis is causing, and slow the progression of the degeneration driving it.

For many patients that is the difference between a life severely limited by their symptoms and a life in which they can function, move and enjoy daily activities.

Many of our spinal stenosis patients come to us having been told surgery is their only option and have achieved meaningful and lasting improvement through our non-surgical approach – without the significant risks that spinal stenosis surgery carries.

How We Treat Spinal Stenosis at Proback

Our approach to spinal stenosis combines several treatments targeting different aspects of the condition simultaneously:

Spinal Decompression Therapy – gently reduces the compressive forces on the narrowed spinal segments, creating more space within the canal and reducing the pressure on the compressed nerve roots. Creates a negative intradiscal pressure that draws hydration and nutrients back into the degenerated disc levels contributing to the stenosis. Non-invasive, no needles, very well tolerated even by older patients.
Prolozone Therapy – delivered to the affected spinal levels and nerve roots to dramatically reduce inflammation, improve oxygenation and stimulate the body’s own regenerative process in the surrounding tissue. Particularly effective for the inflammatory component of stenotic symptoms.
Prolotherapy – injected into the spinal ligaments and facet joint capsules to strengthen the surrounding structures and improve the stability of the affected spinal segments – reducing the abnormal movement that worsens narrowing.
Neuro Prolotherapy – where the compressed nerve roots have become chronically sensitised and are generating persistent pain and neurological symptoms beyond the structural narrowing itself, Neuro Prolotherapy calms these hypersensitised pathways directly – often making a meaningful difference to walking tolerance and leg symptoms.
Ultrasound guided Hydro-Release – where fascial restrictions or soft tissue compression are contributing to nerve irritation alongside the bony stenosis.

Lumbar vs Cervical Stenosis

Lumbar spinal stenosis – narrowing in the lower back – is the most common presentation.

The characteristic symptom is neurogenic claudication – leg pain, heaviness, numbness or weakness that comes on with walking and is relieved by sitting or bending forward.

If you can walk further when leaning on a shopping trolley this is a classic sign of lumbar stenosis.

Cervical spinal stenosis – narrowing in the neck – can cause arm pain, hand weakness, tingling and in more significant cases may affect balance and coordination.

We treat both lumbar and cervical stenosis at Proback with our combined regenerative approach.

FAQs

Spinal Stenosis is the gradual narrowing of the spinal cord that may develop as a result of a herniated disc or degeneration in the spine. Spinal Stenosis usually happens in the lower back (lumbar spinal stenosis), and it can often bring on symptoms such as pain, weakness or numbness in the lower back, into the legs and feet.

Spinal Stenosis can be caused by a whole range of things. Like a herniated or bulged disc or bony growths, called Bone Spurs, on the vertebras or facet joints. You can be born with a naturally narrow spinal canal, leading to a congenital form of Spinal Stenosis. And previous accidents or surgeries on the back or neck can also be a potential cause of Spinal Stenosis.

Depending on the amount of degeneration, good results can be achieved in treating Spinal Stenosis and any form of surgery should be an absolute last resort. First and foremost, it’s important to differentiate between the Spinal Stenosis caused by a herniated or bulged disc, or caused by bone spurs. As the treatment method is different depending on what caused the condition.

As a guideline we will only introduce exercises after completing an initial course of treatment. This is so we can improve your movement and flexibility and reduce pain levels, before integrating a new part of your treatment plan.

Not necessarily - the research on spinal stenosis progression shows that many patients remain stable or improve over time without surgery, particularly with appropriate conservative management. We will give you an honest assessment of where your stenosis sits on the severity spectrum at consultation.

No - they are completely different. Spinal decompression surgery involves removing bone or tissue to physically widen the canal - a major surgical procedure with significant risks. Our Spinal Decompression Therapy is a completely non-invasive traction based treatment that gently reduces pressure within the disc and nerve root without any surgical intervention.

Yes - trying conservative regenerative treatment first does not close any surgical options. If our treatment does not deliver sufficient improvement surgery remains available. We would always recommend trying the least invasive approach first.

Absolutely - spinal stenosis predominantly affects older patients and our treatments are very well suited to this age group. Spinal Decompression in particular is very gentle and well tolerated. Age alone is never a reason not to explore what we can offer.

Some patients notice meaningful improvement in their walking tolerance and leg symptoms within the first three to five sessions of Spinal Decompression. For the combined regenerative approach results accumulate progressively over a course of treatment typically spanning four to eight weeks.
