A neuroforamin: is a small opening in the spine where a nerve root passes through. A mild to moderate narrowing of this opening means it is possible to have a “pinched nerve” at this sight. This could result in pain, numbness, tingling,weakness in the area that this nerve affects. This area can be visualized by looking at the corresponding Dermatome. It is also possible that one has no clinical affect at all.
