Upper: Central spinal stenosis refers to narrowing of spinal canal usually due to congenital narrowing or bony overgrowth with age, or combination of both. Narrowed space causes compression on nerve roots. This is an upper motor neuron problem. The diminished reflexes are related to the chronic nerve root pressure. Sometimes surgery needed to reduce symptoms. Physical therapy also helps.
