It means either bone from the vertebra(s) is growing into the spinal canal. This would be caused by spondylosis, or in English, Arthritis of the spine... The spinal canal runs down a passage made by the vertebrae and surrounding bony "arches". These arches have a part that 'sticks out' called the spinous process, and these are the "bumps" that you can feel when you run your fingers down someone's back.

Osteophytic encroachment of the neural central joints at C5-6 is when degeneration of a disc causes obstruction. This obstruction occurs at the foramina at C4-5.
The osteocyte near the central canal receives nutrients from blood vessels in the central canal. It can then pass these nutrients through gap junctions to neighboring osteocytes, which in turn pass them on to osteocytes located further away from the central canal. This process allows for the distribution of nutrients throughout the bone tissue.
