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.

I have chronic low back pain. The X-ray showed spinal stenosis. I will be having an MRI next week. I am unsure if MRI shows cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine or if eacharea is ordered a separate mri? I have intermittent neck pain also.
