📋Overview
Spinal Stenosis involves the anatomical constriction of the vertebral canal, which may lead to the compression of neural structures. This condition most frequently affects the cervical or lumbar regions of the spinal column.
Clinical observation indicates that this narrowing reduces the available space for the spinal cord and exiting nerve roots. The term remains the preferred medical designation for describing these structural changes within the spine.
