What Causes Spinal Stenosis?

Hi, My 9 y/o daughter was diagnosed recently with spinal stenosis and has not been walking since last week thursday. The day before, she jumped from quite a high distance on the monkey bars on the playground. Could this have caused this reaction to occur? Also

Yes -- people with spinal stenosis are at higher risk for a spinal cord injury because there is less space for the spinal cord in the spinal canal.

A fall can cause a spinal cord injury more easily in someone with spinal stenosis.
