Stenosis means narrowing and a spinal stenosis is a narrowing in any part of the spine. There are two kinds of stenosis seen in the spine. When you are reading your scan results or discussing your condition with the doctor they can refer to these two collectively as spinal stenosis. Spinal stenosis can be either a Central Spinal Stenosis or a Foraminal Stenosis.
