There is no known cure for spinal stenosis, according to the American College of Rheumatology. Although it is not possible to cure spinal stenosis, there are things that can be done to relieve pain and other symptoms that are associated with this common spinal condition. Exercise, cortisone injections and medications can all help alleviate symptoms experienced by people with spinal stenosis.

Spinal stenosis is a health issue that occurs when the spinal cord and spinal canal become compressed. People born with a thin spinal canal are at an increased risk of developing spinal stenosis.
