Right-Sided Foraminal Stenosis: Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment

Right-sided foraminal stenosis is narrowing of the right neural foramen—openings where nerve roots exit the spine. Compression causes pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness on the right side. Common in cervical (neck) and lumbar (low back) regions.

Causes

  • Degenerative changes (bone spurs, herniated discs)
  • Spinal trauma
  • Developmental abnormalities

Diagnosis

CT or MRI to assess narrowing severity.

Treatment

  • Conservative: physical therapy, medications.
  • Severe cases: surgical decompression.
