What is cervical spondylosis with formainal narrowing and cord flattening?

Cervical spondylosis is a degenerative condition of the cervical spine, often due to age-related wear and tear, leading to the development of bone spurs and disc degeneration. Foraminal narrowing refers to the narrowing of the openings where spinal nerves exit the spine, which can cause nerve compression and pain. Cord flattening indicates that the spinal cord is being compressed, potentially leading to neurological symptoms. Together, these conditions can result in neck pain, stiffness, and neurological deficits.
