Foraminal Stenosis - Causes
What is the cause of Foraminal Stenosis?
Injury to the spinal joints will result in progressive degeneration or arthritis of the joints. Arthritis of the facet joints and degenerative disc disease cause foraminal stenosis in affected areas of the spine by causing bone spurs to form (bone spurs are also known as osteophytes and are bony projections that form along joint margins as the result of overuse, trauma, or pressure), loss of disc height, facet hypertrophy, facet capsule hypertrophy and disc bulging.
These progressive structural changes all result in narrowing of the foramen and nerve root impingement.
