Foraminal Encroachment from Souza:
* Souza - “Manipulation of the neck is the treatment of choice. If unsuccessful, cervical traction may be of benefit. Any myofascial contribution may be addressed with stretch-and –spray techniques, trigger point therapy or myofascial release. * Because the foramina are relatively isolated within the spinal column, many of the typical conservative treatment methods used for neck and back pain — including exercise, stretching and physical therapy — might not be as effective.
106
What is the dural sleeve?
When the spinal nerve leaves the vertebral canal via an intervertebral foramen, 2 layers of the spinal meninges, the arachnoid and the dura invaginate the nerve to form a dural sleeve of connective tissue, which is the **_epineurium_**
