Each spinal nerve comprises motor and sensory nerve fibers. Receptors present in the skin transmit signals to the spinal cord via sensory nerve fibers, which enter the spinal cord via the dorsal root.

Spinal stenosis refers to the narrowing of the spinal canal, which contains the spinal cord and nerve roots. This narrowing compresses the spinal cord and nerve roots, resulting in symptoms.

An MRI scan is one of the best ways to get clear images of the spinal cord, spinal canal nerve roots, intervertebral discs, and ligaments. It identifies signs of compression in the spinal cord.

Lumbar decompression surgery aims to increase the space in the spinal canal so the spinal cord and nerve roots are not compressed. It involves precisely removing or trimming parts of the spine ...

But imagine what might happen if your spinal canal began to narrow around your spinal cord. As you might imagine, the smaller canal would put pressure on your spinal cord and the nerve roots.
