Can the SR 500 Belt help Lateral Recess Stenosis?
GROUND INFORMATION: Lateral Recess Stenosis is a condition brought on and caused by arthritic changes in the bone adjacent to where nerve tissue exits the spinal canal to form the peripheral nerves. The arthritic changes forms new bony material next to the nerves and crowds the nerve tissue, placing pressure on the nerves which may result in pain and decreased nerve function. ANSWER: The SR 500 Belt might help Lateral Recess Stenosis depending upon exactly where the stenosis is located and how much pressure upon the nerve may be contributed by thinning disc space and/or disc bulge. By increasing the disc space and increasing the space between the facet joints as well, this may result in enough additional space for the nerves affected by lateral recess stenosis to achieve some measure of symptomatic relief. This will of course not treat the cause of the stenosis, which will probably continue to progress and May eventually require surgery. However, it is possible for the SR 500 Belt to “
