A member asked:
Could a cervical spinal stenosis be caused by a fall?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Degenerative cervical spinal stenosis takes years to develop, usually not from an event such as a fall. That being said, a person with pre-existing spinal stenosis of cervical spine can sustain central cord syndrome/contusion from the fall, become very symptomatic.
