Spinal stenosis occurs when one or more bony openings within the spine begin to narrow and reduce space for the nerves. This process can occur within the spinal canal and in the intervertebral foramina where spinal nerves exit the spinal canal.
Depending on the location and how much narrowing occurs over time, a spinal nerve or the spinal cord could become compressed and cause pain, tingling, numbness, and weakness.
SYMPTOMS
Spinal stenosis usually develops slowly over time. It is most commonly caused by osteoarthritis or “wear-and-tear” changes that naturally occur in your spine as you age.
However, some patients are born with less space for their spinal cord.
