Lower Back Pain

Degenerative Disc Disease

As we age, our spinal discs naturally undergo wear and tear. Over time, they may lose their normal shape, flexibility, and cushioning ability, which can cause friction between the vertebrae and lead to pain. This age-related deterioration of the spinal discs is known as degenerative disc disease.

Degenerative Disc Disease Symptoms

Common symptoms of degenerative disc disease include:

  • ✔ Chronic or intermittent pain in the neck and back
  • ✔ Pain radiating to the lower back, buttocks, or legs
  • ✔ Weakness, tingling, or numbness in the arms or legs
  • ✔ Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, twisting, or lifting

Degenerative Disc Disease Causes

Risk factors and causes of degenerative disc disease include:

  • ✔ Natural aging process leading to water loss in spinal discs
  • ✔ Cracks or tears in the spinal discs from daily movements or minor injuries
  • ✔ Severe trauma such as falls or accidents
  • ✔ Physically demanding occupations or activities
  • ✔ Gender differences (higher prevalence among women)
  • ✔ Excess body weight placing additional strain on the spine
  • ✔ Smoking, which accelerates disc degeneration

Degenerative Disc Disease Diagnosis

Diagnosis begins with a detailed medical history review and discussion of symptoms. A physical examination is then conducted, where you may be asked to bend, twist, or walk to evaluate pain and mobility.

For confirmation, imaging scans such as X-rays, MRI, or CT scans are often recommended to detect disc degeneration, nerve involvement, or bone damage.
