An interview with Dr. Cunningham Degenerative changes of the vertebrae and disks that make up the spine are common in the aging population and may be associated with either osteoarthritis or osteoporosis. However, when these changes result in an asymmetry, a sideways curve of the spine measuring 10 degrees or greater, the condition is described as degenerative scoliosis.
