Foraminal Stenosis

Foraminal Stenosis is a condition where bone spurs form around the facet joint and narrow the foraminal canal that is formed by the facet joint above and below each vertebra. This narrowing can pinch the nerve root that is trying to exit the spine on its way to one of the extremities. Foraminal stenosis can be an isolated problem or seen in conjunction with central spinal stenosis.
