Answer 1

Check todays Yahoo home page. There is a newly recognized treatment as being the best even though it has been around for years.

Answer 2

If the problem is mild, treatment may be as simple as physical therapy and the use of a cervical collar. If severe, treatments include laminectomy, hemilaminectomy, or decompression.

Treatment includes weight loss, and activity modification, such as using a Walker (tool) to promote a certain posture. Epidural steroid injections may also help relieve the leg pain.

If the symptoms are more severe, a laminectomy or foraminotomy may be indicated to take pressure off the spinal nerve.
