One thing that I have noticed as a physical therapist is that the vast majority of patients, regardless of condition, are searching for the fastest cure or quickest source of pain relief. Why shouldn’t they? If it’s a chronic condition, such as spinal stenosis, they have been living with pain and weakness for months to years and are sick of dealing with it. The short answer to this is that it is possible to achieve fast pain relief, but there is good news and bad news associated with it.
