Explanation

A neuroforamen is a small, natural opening in the spine. It's like a little tunnel where nerves from the spinal cord pass through to reach other parts of the body. These openings are important because they allow signals from the brain to reach our limbs and organs. If these openings get blocked or narrowed, it can cause pain or other problems because the nerves get pinched.
