Degenerative spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the spinal canal caused by age-related wear and tear — disc bulging, bone spurs, thickened ligaments, and enlarged facet joints — that squeezes the nerves or spinal cord running through it. It most commonly affects the lumbar (lower back) and cervical (neck) spine, producing leg pain and cramping with walking in lumbar cases, and hand clumsiness or balance problems in cervical cases. Treatment ranges from non-surgical care — physiotherapy, medications, and epidural steroid injections — through to decompression surgery (removing bone and ligament to relieve nerve pressure) and spinal fusion when the spine is unstable. Most patients begin with conservative management; surgery is considered when symptoms remain disabling despite several months of non-surgical care, or when neurological function is at risk.
A structured programme of physiotherapy, pain medications, and epidural steroid injections that relieves symptoms without surgery — the standard starting point for most patients.
Estimated cost: ~$200 – $500
Typical tests: CBC (complete blood count), Blood glucose (fasting), Kidney function tests (KFT), Coagulation profile (PT/INR) — if injection planned, ECG, Nerve conduction study / EMG (if not done recently). Done in India before admission.
Estimated cost in India: $2,500 – $5,000
Treatment duration in India: ~3 weeks (~7 hospital visit days across the full span)
Open or minimally invasive surgery that removes bone and thickened ligament pressing on the nerves, widening the spinal canal — used when conservative treatment has not provided enough relief.
Estimated cost in India: $5,000 – $10,000

Canal-widening decompression combined with fusion of two or more vertebrae using screws, rods, and bone graft — chosen when the spine is unstable, such as in degenerative spondylolisthesis.
Estimated cost in India: $6,500 – $14,000

Surgery on the cervical (neck) spine to relieve spinal cord compression — options include anterior discectomy and fusion, laminoplasty (hinging the lamina open), or posterior decompression — used when cervical myelopathy is present.
Estimated cost in India: $6,500 – $14,000
