What Causes Pain In Arm When Suffering From Foraminal Stenonis?

Hi I have been recently diagnosed with right foraminal stenonis, although it was moderate, I am having severe pain and numbness on my right side and right arm. I have been seeing a chiropractor and taking naproxen however the pain is sometimes severe and also my arm tends to simply freezeup and my fingers curl in. what other treatment can I look at?
