The vertebral canal is surrounded by the vertebral arches (posterior) and the vertebral bodies (anterior). The vertebral arches are connected by connective tissue lining the vertebral canal inside.

Wear and tear is a well-known phenomenon that occurs, as we age, in the joints, but thus also in the spine. In response to osteoarthritis, the vertebral bone proliferates (it thickens). The excess bone formation and excess connective tissue can thus pinch the spinal cord. It can also narrow the openings where the nerve roots exit the spinal canal. Because these openings at the cervical spine are not as wide, symptoms soon arise.
