A spine distraction implant alleviates pain associated with spinal stenosis and facet arthropathy by expanding the volume in the spine canal and/or neural foramen. The implant provides a spinal extension inhibitor while allowing freedom of spinal flexion. The implant includes an elliptically-shaped spacer for positioning between and spacing apart the spinous processes.
