Individualized assessment Options explained Functional goals01 / UNDERSTAND
A passage to examine in context.
The foramina are openings through which nerve roots exit. Their narrowing may be associated with disc or joint changes and sometimes with limb symptoms.
The pattern of sensations
Describe pain, numbness and tingling in the arm or leg separately.
Changes in function
New weakness or loss of ability must be reported promptly.
Useful distinctions
Foraminal stenosis concerns a nerve root exit. Spinal canal stenosis concerns another space; the two may coexist and cannot be discussed solely from the degree written in the report.
YOUR CONSULTATION IN TERREBONNE
A useful resource for Terrebonne.
In Terrebonne, bring available reports and a description of the course since the test. Note whether a position, driving or walking changes symptoms to make the discussion of options more precise.

02 / EXPLORE THE OPTIONS
Spinal decompression: a discussion based on your clinical profile.
The choice of care begins with your history, current signs and symptoms, and goals. A condition mentioned in a report does not dictate a treatment method.
- 1
Clarify your situation
Neck or low back, right or left: compare the report findings with the areas of discomfort. Existing examination results and previous care add to the discussion.
- 2
Discuss options and precautions
Non-surgical spinal decompression, adapted exercise, targeted osteopathic care or medical referral: relevant options are explained according to your situation and the limitations of each.
- 3
Track specific changes
Reassess chosen abilities and nerve signs. Worsening or progressive weakness requires medical advice.
Suitability, limitations and other options
Suitability for decompression is determined on a case-by-case basis. Traction cannot promise to eliminate bony narrowing; neurological findings and other options matter. Spinal decompression uses motorized traction; results vary and no individual benefit can be guaranteed. NICE advises against traction for low back pain with or without sciatica. This recommendation, the uncertainties and the alternatives must be explained. Read the NICE guidelines.

Foraminal Stenosis: before your visit.
Guidance to help you understand the condition and prepare your questions.
Read the TAGMED guideWhere can I seek care for this condition in Terrebonne?
TAGMED Clinic welcomes you at 1150, rue Lévis, bureau 200, Terrebonne (Québec) J6W 5S6, on Mondays and Wednesdays, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., by appointment. Availability and confirmation are provided through GOrendezvous.
Is foraminal stenosis always painful?
No. Narrowing may be present without a corresponding symptom. The report must be related to the symptom pattern and examination.
Is the word “severe” enough to choose treatment?
No. The region, nerve signs, abilities and course must be considered. Some presentations require specialist medical advice.
Could decompression be considered in my situation?
Suitability for non-surgical spinal decompression is determined case by case. Traction cannot promise to eliminate bony narrowing; the neurological presentation and other options matter.
How many sessions should I plan for?
The name of a condition cannot determine the number of sessions. Goals, tolerance and progress should guide the development and reassessment of the plan. Also ask when a change in approach would be needed.
Are consultations reimbursed?
Osteopathy receipts may be issued. Check your policy conditions and whether your insurer recognizes the practitioner. Services are not covered by RAMQ.
