Spinal stenosis usually results from degenerative, arthritic changes to the bones and joints of the spinal column. As we age, our bones and joints naturally succumb to daily wear and tear, in a process known as arthritis. Arthritic joints can become enlarged or deformed, as is typically seen in arthritic knuckles in the hands and fingers. When these arthritic deformities occur in the spine, overgrown joints, ligaments, or bone spurs can crowd into the canal reserved for the spinal cord and nerves, resulting in stenosis, and pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
