WHAT IS DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE?

Degenerative disc disorders refer to a range of conditions resulting from the wear and tear of intervertebral discs in the spine. As people age, these discs can lose hydration and elasticity, leading to various issues.

CAUSES

  • Age: As discs age naturally, their water content and suppleness decline.
  • Injury: Degeneration may be made worse by recent injuries sustained in hard lifting or accidents.
  • Repetitive Strain: Activities or occupations that subject the spine to constant strain can hasten wear.
  • Genetics: People may be predisposed to disc degeneration due to family history.
  • Obesity: Carrying extra weight might put more strain on the spine.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

  • Chronic Pain: Usually in the neck or lower back, this pain might get worse as you move.
  • Nerve Pain: When nerves are squeezed, it can cause radiating pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or legs.
  • Stiffness: The afflicted area's decreased range of motion.
