Degenerative changes in the vertebrae can lead to narrowing of the spinal canal. This is most often the cause of back pain and radiating pain in the legs, which in turn can cause problems with mobility. The diagnosis can be verified through radiological evidence. When conservative treatment and injections do not improve the condition or when there is evidence of paraethesia the best course of treatment is operative decompression procedure. Through this procedure results of a quick regression of pain and improved mobility are experienced. The operation has no risk, a quick recovery period and can be carried out in old patients.
脊椎的退行性变化可导致椎管狭窄。这通常是背痛和腿部放射性疼痛的原因，进而可能导致行动问题。诊断可通过放射学证据得到证实。当保守治疗和注射不能改善病情或有感觉异常的证据时，最佳的治疗方法是手术减压 procedure。通过这个 procedure 可以迅速缓解疼痛并改善行动能力。该手术没有风险，恢复期短，且可以在老年患者中进行。
