With advancing age, a person's nervous system becomes worn down or damaged. Injury, infection, poor diet, poor health and drug use can all affect the nervous system, leading to a decrease in reflex responses.

Reflex tests are used by physicians to test spinal reflexes. A slow reflex response could indicate spinal damage due to disease, injury, or pinching/compression by the vertebrae.
