What is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition that occurs when the intervertebral discs in your spine begin to break down and deteriorate over time. These discs act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae, providing cushioning and flexibility to your spine. As we age, these discs naturally lose water content and elasticity, leading to a gradual loss of disc height and function.

Key features of Degenerative Disc Disease include:

  • Disc dehydration and reduced elasticity
  • Bulging or herniated discs
  • Potential nerve root compression
  • Development of bone spurs

While aging is the primary cause of DDD, other factors can contribute to its development or progression:

  • Repetitive stress on the spine
  • Obesity
  • Genetic predisposition

Common symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease may include:

  • Back or neck pain, which may radiate to the arms or legs
  • Tingling, numbness, or weakness in the extremities
  • Stiffness and restricted movement
  • Muscle spasms

DDD can significantly impact daily life, making activities like bending, lifting, or prolonged sitting uncomfortable. It may also affect work performance and limit participation in recreational activities. However, it’s important to note that many people with disc degeneration visible on imaging studies may not experience symptoms, and various treatment options are available to manage pain and improve quality of life for those affected by this condition.
