- The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body.

What is Degenerative Disc Disease? What Causes Degenerative Disc Disease? For some of us, degenerative disc disease is part of the natural process of growing older. As we age, our intervertebral discs can lose their flexibility, elasticity, and shock-absorbing characteristics. For others, degenerative disc disease can stem from an injury to the back.

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) Degenerative disc disease (DDD) Overview. Degenerative disc disease is a condition caused by the breakdown of the discs that separate the spine bones. As you age, the spine begins to show signs of wear and tear as the discs dry out and shrink. These age-related changes can lead to arthritis, disc herniation, or spinal stenosis.

Explaining Spinal Disorders: Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease As we age, our vertebral discs, which serve as spine’s shock absorbers, gradually dry out, affecting their strength and resiliency. This can lead to degenerative disc disease (DDD). DDD of the cervical spine is a relatively common condition for aging adults.

Degenerative Disc Disease Center Degenerative disc disease changes the discs and makes them less able to cushion your movements (as discussed above). With DDD, your intervertebral discs also become more prone to problems; they may bulge or herniate.

Top 40 Doctor insights on: Hypertrophic Degenerative Facet Disease Degeneration of the lumbar spine is described as lumbar spondylosis or degenerative disc disease and may lead to spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), vertebral instability and/or malalignment, which may be associated with back pain and/or leg symptoms.

MRI Web Clinic â December 2013 There is an increased incidence of disc degeneration, disc herniation and facet degeneration at vertebral levels just cephalad to the transitional vertebral body. Aihara et al. reported in cadavers that the iliolumbar ligaments were thinner and weaker at the level above the LSTV20.

- As we age, our spinal discs break down, or degenerate, which may result in degenerative disc disease in some people. These age-related changes include: 1  The loss of fluid in your discs. 2  This reduces the ability of the discs to act as shock absorbers and makes them less flexible.egenerative disc disease can take place throughout the spine, but it most often occurs in the discs in the lower back (lumbar region) and the neck (cervical region). The changes in the discs can result in back or neck pain and/or:

Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease With cervical degenerative disc disease, or cervical DDD, one or more discs degenerates, creating too much friction in the surrounding area of the spine.This friction, coupled with the inflamed and irritated disc, cause pain in the immediate area.andwiched in between each of these vertebrae is a disc that is made of a gel-like material (the nucleus pulposus) enclosed within a more rigid covering, the annulus fibrosis. These discs act to cushion the vertebrae and absorb shock.

- The intervertebral disc is one structure prone to the degenerative changes associated with wear and tear such as aging, weight bearing, injury as well as misuse (e.g. smoking). These changes are linked and may lead to the discs inability to handle mechanical stress.

- Back pain is strongly associated with degeneration of the intervertebral disc [3]. Disc degeneration, although in many cases asymptomatic [4], is also associated with sciatica and disc herniation or prolapse.

Degenerative disc disease Degenerative Disc Disease can affect any of your discs, but most often occurs in the neck and lower back. For most people Degenerative Disc Disease causes no painful symptoms, but for some a degenerated disc can cause constant, severe chronic pain. With symptomatic Degenerative Disc Disease, chronic lower back pain sometimes radiates to the hips or causes pain in the buttocks or thighs while walking. You may feel sporadic tingling or weakness through the knees.

- © Reed Group. Degeneration of cervical intervertebral discs is common, and often postulated as a cause of neck and arm pain. The neck (cervical spine) is made up of seven vertebrae. Starting with cervical vertebra number 2 (C2), an intervertebral disc separates each vertebra from the vertebrae below. A cervical intervertebral disc is a spongy structure that helps absorbs shock and allows movement of the cervical vertebrae. A degenerating disc loses some of its thickness and becomes less flexible, causing the space between two vertebrae to narrow.

- People who are obese are also more likely to have symptoms of degenerative disc disease. A sudden (acute) injury leading to a herniated disc (such as a fall) may also begin the degeneration process. As the space between the vertebrae gets smaller, there is less padding between them, and the spine becomes less stable.he discs act as shock absorbers for the spine, allowing it to flex, bend, and twist. Degenerative disc disease can take place throughout the spine, but it most often occurs in the discs in the lower back (lumbar region) and the neck (cervical region). The changes in the discs can result in back or neck pain and/or:
