This is to say that (most likely) arthritis occurs at the end plate (extreme bottom, or top of vertebrae, and the adding on of new bone to those areas causes the spinal canal to become smaller, eventually resulting in pressure on the spinal cord.

Management usually involves conservative measures like physical therapy, medications, and lifestyle modifications.
