Anything less than 8mm AP canal diameter is termed absolute stenosis and is definitely potentially surgical. You should be following up ASAP with a spine ortho or neurosurgeon (not necessarily because you need surgery; but you are in the ballpark)!
Oh, and you don't have to worry about a chiropractor munching you. Absolute stenosis is a contraindication to manipulation.
Leesa....fractured sternum....really??? Never heard of such a thing from manipulation. Fractured rib here and there on rare occasion. Oh, FYI....Neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon referrals to me made up 50% of my practice so there is not resolute agreement with the ole goat you went to. And yes, we do have access to MRI....I ordered hundreds over 20+ years of practice. And one last thought...it wasn't a chiropractor that took me out of practice and disabled me; it was an orthopedic surgeon
