“It’s just part of getting older.”
“You’re going to need surgery eventually.”
“There’s nothing you can really do for stenosis.”
👎 We hear these every day from patients told to just “live with it.” But you don’t have to live in pain.
🎙 In Episode 89 of Back At It with Dr. Decompression, Dr. JD Dudum breaks down lumbar spinal stenosis — what it is, why it happens, and how thousands are finding non-surgical relief through decompression therapy and at-home strategies.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
• What lumbar stenosis actually is — and why “narrowing of the canal” matters
• The top 3 causes of spinal canal narrowing (and why it’s not always arthritis)
• How to tell if your symptoms match stenosis: pain, numbness, weakness, and shopping cart syndrome
• Why walking hurts but leaning forward helps (and the science behind it)
• Dr. Dudum’s 4 favorite flexion-based exercises to start today at home
• Real-life recovery: how Jay went from surgery-bound to walking pain-free
• How decompression therapy helps reduce inflammation, improve mobility, and avoid surgery
• Why even “permanent” degeneration can be managed successfully with the right plan
✨ "We can’t undo the arthritis — but we can change the pressure, reduce inflammation, and give you your life back."

Before it was leg heaviness and burning nerve pain in my buttocks, thighs, hips and running down my front leg to my shins.
Now it’s all that PLUS shooting pain down one leg into my knee. Too painful to even try and walk. Hence the scheduled laminectomy.
My question for you is this: What kind of strength building exercises can I do immediately, or close to immediately, AFTER my surgery so that I can help prevent this happening again?
I have stenosis nerve pain back of my legs.. walking is painful.
Can you recommend anyone to help with decompression in Durban SA please

MRI impression lumbar spondylosis 15 years ago. I underwent PT and exercise. Later stopped Pt and exercise. For Almost one year i am experiencing the symptoms you mentioned painful walking numbness in both legs, pain in my buttocks. MRI impression was foraminal stenosis. I had Pt and some exercises but i learned from my internet research that there are extensions exercises do more harm than good. Now i got clarity which exercise will really help me alleviate pain and let me walk longer.
