Disc Degeneration 

22/3/2015

Disc Degeneration 

Discs of the spine are the cushions that are placed between the vertebrae to protect them from damaging each other. The degeneration of the discs causes the discs to become more susceptible to herniation and lead to localised or radiating pain. Sciatica can result from disc herniation when nerves in the lower back are irritated.

 

CAUSES

As we age the water and protein content in the discs change and become fragile and thin.

Trauma is another way that can lead to disc degeneration.
 

Avoiding injury can prevent these conditions. When it already exists, aggravation of the existing symptoms can be avoided by limiting stress or overusing the involved spine.

Diagnoisis 

Ways to be diagnosed are by having an MRI and an xray.

 
Treatment
 
It will still occur, often able to be managed conservatively. It’s all about managing it.
