Laser treatment for spinal stenosis?

Hi, @leslie324. I'm so glad you have seen some improvement. However, I am surprised that the laser therapy caused any pain. It's not supposed to, according to the literature I've read and the experiences I have had. In fact, it is supposed to reduce pain. Did you ask the doctor why you had pain from it? I also am curious to know which laser therapy "machine" your doctor uses. Mine uses what is described as a "multi
-wave locked system" and I have had it rotating on one of my problem areas for probably 12-15 minutes at a time. It took five sessions for pain I had had for years to disappear. Best wishes and keep us updated.

Doctor said inflammation around S1 very severe. He postponed spinal manipulation until week 4 but, of course, I was back in hospital then. He uses a Class 4 laser. Thank you for the good wishes. Leslie324
