Your spinal cord travel through your spinal canal and exit through openings called "foramen." If any of these spaces are too narrow, your nerves become compressed and you have a condition called "spinal stenosis." It's a problem that most often happens in the neck and lower back due to degenerative overgrowth of bone and soft tissue around the nerves.
