Individualized assessment Options explained Functional goals01 / UNDERSTAND
Walking ability is an essential reference point.
Lumbar spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spaces in the lumbar canal. Symptoms may appear or increase while walking or standing and vary with position.
The effect of position
Specify what happens while standing, sitting or changing position.
Independence
Shopping, outings and getting around: identify an activity you wish to regain.
Useful distinctions
Not all walking difficulty is due to lumbar stenosis. Circulation, joints and other causes may need assessment. Imaging alone does not determine the need for treatment.

An approach based on your clinical profile
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
Record your usual time or distance before discomfort begins, without pushing beyond your tolerance. 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
Compare walking and independence, then reassess tolerance and neurological signs. Medical advice may be necessary depending on the course.
Suitability, limitations and other options
Suitability is determined on a case-by-case basis. Non-surgical spinal decompression does not replace a medical assessment and does not guarantee lasting widening of a narrowed lumbar canal. 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.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Lumbar Spinal 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.
Does lumbar stenosis always require surgery?
No. Depending on the situation, non-surgical options may be considered. Significant neurological involvement, worsening or persistent limitations may lead to discussion of specialist advice.
How can progress be tracked beyond pain?
Walking duration, number of breaks and ease of an important activity can serve as reference points. They must be adapted to your starting point and safety.
Could decompression be considered in my situation?
Suitability is determined case by case. Non-surgical spinal decompression does not replace medical assessment and does not guarantee lasting enlargement of a narrowed lumbar canal.
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.
