What is degenerative disc disease?
Degenerative disc disease occurs when normal aging and spine degeneration causes pain. Spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the spine’s vertebrae, and with age, they tend to break down. Not everyone will experience pain as their spinal discs break down, but patients who do are considered to have degenerative disc disease.
Patients who have degenerative disc disease are likely to feel sharp or constant pain in their back or neck. In extreme cases, patients may experience numbness or tingling in the limbs. Degenerative disc disease is usually treated with mild pain medication, though physical therapy is often recommended, as well.
