Degenerative Disc Disease is a very common condition that affects thousands of people a year. It may not always result in pain and many can function properly with the disease. However it can also be responsible for causing very intense back or neck pain. Degenerative changes in the spine occur as we age. Over time, the wear and tear to our spines affects its structure and functionality. Smoking and other substances can drastically affect the overall health of your spine. Water and proteoglycan content in the spine decreases with age. These important fluids keep discs healthy and flexible. When the spine becomes more rigid, it is susceptible to injury.
