# Spinous Process Explained – What This Broken Link Really Does In modern neuroscience and medical imaging, the spinous process often comes up in discussions related to spinal health, nerve function, and neurological diagnostics. Yet, a commonly overlooked detail is the spinated (broken or disrupted) spinous process and how such damage—sometimes referred to as a “broken link” in clinical contexts—really affects pain, mobility, and nerve signaling. This article breaks down what the spinous process is, how a broken or damaged spinous process functions as a “broken link,” and its implications for spinal integrity and neurological health. ---
