WHAT IS DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE? ⠀⠀
⠀
Here's a no-nonsense explanation of one of the most common causes of pain in the neck and low back. No doctor-speak that leaves more questions than answers. 😕⠀⠀
⠀
Degenerative Disc Disease is a normal process of aging, but can also be from repetitive stress and injury on the spine. Think wear and tear on the spinal discs.⠀⠀
⠀
The spinal discs are soft, shock absorbing cushions ↕️ of the spine that fit between the vertebrae, the blocks that make up the spine.⠀⠀
⠀
During the aging process, the discs start to lose water content 💧 and become less flexible. With the disc weakening over time, they can start to bulge and pinch onto nearby nerves, causing shooting pains.
⠀
As degeneration progresses, the disc may also begin to thin, which lessens the shock-absorbing effect of the disc. This thinning puts more stress on the vertebrae, which will lead to the formation of bone spurs, called osteophytes. ⠀⠀
⠀
If it gets severe enough, the bone spurs may grow large enough to make contact with a nerve or the spinal cord. This is where a pinched nerve comes in, causing sharp and shooting pains. ⚡⚡⠀⠀
⠀
Also, numbness, tingling, and muscle weakness can be experienced over the affected area.
⠀⠀
Hope this helps explain it in a more understandable way!
