Living With Spinal Stenosis: Walking Tips and Treatment Options (Uijeongbu, Korea)
In short: Practical ways to walk further with stenosis and when adhesiolysis or injections help.
Why walking hurts
Standing upright narrows the canal; leaning forward opens it.
Tips
Use a walking stick or shopping cart, cycle on a stationary bike, and break walks into shorter stretches.
Strengthening
Core and hip strength reduce load on the spine.
Treatment
Epidural adhesiolysis and image-guided injections can extend walking distance; surgery is considered when non-surgical care fails.
