Lumbar Spine Stenosis ICD-10-CM Codes

A lumbar spine stenosis ICD 10 code identifies and communicates the diagnosis in medical records and billing systems. It helps healthcare providers track the prevalence of the condition and determine reimbursement levels for related medical services.

Common treatments for lumbar spine stenosis include non-surgical options like physical therapy, stretching, medications (NSAIDs, muscle relaxants), and epidural steroid injections. Surgical treatment is considered for severe cases that do not improve with non-surgical methods, with the specific procedure based on the location and severity of the stenosis.
