foraminal narrowing or foraminal stenosis is a condition of the spine that can cause pain and other symptoms resulting from spinal nerve root compression at every level of the spine a pair of nerve roots runs through the spinal column via small openings called foramina singular foramen
Conditions that cause narrowing of the foramen As we age, the parts of the spine can begin to wear down leading to degenerative conditions, or making the spine more prone to injury. Since the foramina are already tight spaces, even a small amount of additional narrowing from a spine condition can cause nerves to be pinched as they exit the spine.
