Normal: The cord does not travel exactly as the bony architecture does. This is likely more of a comment by the radiologist rather than any real pathology.

Clinical correlation: Clinical correlation to your symptoms is key, but the cord can get stretched and bothered in the spine if the spinal curve is not the normal desired curve.
