Cervical spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the spinal canal in the neck. The spinal canal is the open area in the bones (vertebrae) that make up the spinal column. The spinal cord is a collection of nerves that runs through the spinal canal from the base of the brain to the lower back. These nerves allow us to feel, to move, and to control the bowel and bladder and other body functions.
Going from top to bottom, the first and highest part of the spinal cord is known as the cervical spinal cord. The cervical region controls hand and arm sensation and function. Next is the thoracic spinal cord. The thoracic spinal cord controls the sensation and function of the muscles of the chest, back and abdomen.
