Spinal Stenosis Boot Camp
A great way to manage and relieve swelling and pain caused by everyday life
Spinal Stenosis Boot Camp
Spinal stenosis is a common condition affecting the spine that is characterized by the narrowing of the spinal canal or the spaces between the vertebrae. This can put pressure on the spinal cord and the nerves, causing pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs, back, and buttocks.
In recent years, a new treatment approach has emerged that aims to help people with spinal stenosis avoid surgery and manage their symptoms more effectively: the spinal stenosis boot camp.
What is the spinal stenosis bootcamp?
Spinal Stenosis Bootcamp is an intensive, program designed to help people with spinal stenosis improve their physical function and manager their symptoms without surgery. The program typically involves a combination of education, manual therapy, and exercise, all delivered in a structured, supportive environment.
The goal of a spinal stenosis boot camp is to help participants improve their strength, flexibility, balance, and endurance, while also learning strategies to manage their pain and improve their quality of life.

3. Cardiovascular exercise. Participants will engage in cardiovascular exercise, such as walking and/or cycling, to improve their endurance and overall fitness.
