Narrow spinal canal: This is a narrowing of the spinal canal caused by arthritis and associated degeneration and growth of the joints and ligaments of the cervical spine. This can cause compression of the spinal cord if the joint/ligament overgrowth is severe enough, particularly if someone is born with a more narrow spinal canal. Spinal cord compression can cause weakness of the arms/legs and difficulty walking.
