Nerves cannot normally wrap around bones in the spine. However, they can become compressed between bones and other systemic structures.
You can find nerve tissue mostly in your spinal cord. Your spine protects your spinal cord. An other word for the spine is vertebral column.
In the central nervous system (CNS), myelin is produced by oligodendrocytes, which wrap their extensions around the axons of nerve cells. In the peripheral nervous system (PNS), myelin is produced by Schwann cells, which wrap around the axons in a spiral fashion. Myelin sheaths in both systems help to insulate and speed up the transmission of nerve impulses.

The Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) help to form myelin sheaths around larger nerve fibers. These cells wrap around the nerve fibers to provide insulation and support for faster nerve impulse conduction.

Brain, spine, nerve axons.
The nerve pathway travels down from the s1 spine. If the nerve root at the s1 is impinged or herniated, symptoms of sciatica can appear.
A schwann cell are supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system, they wrap themselves around nerve axons.
There are several nerve branches in the spinal column. The most popular being the sciatic nerve which branches of the lumbar spine into the legs.
