What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?
Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the discs between the bones of your spine break down over time, often causing neck or back pain. In the cervical spine, this condition affects the neck; in the lumbar spine, it impacts the lower back. While DDD doesn't shorten your life, it can affect its quality without proper care.
What Causes Degenerative Disc Disease?
DDD is often caused by natural aging, but lifestyle and health factors can accelerate it.
Key risk factors for degenerative disc disease:
Aging and genetics.
Poor posture or a sedentary lifestyle.
Repetitive strain from physical work or heavy lifting.
Obesity and smoking.
Prior spinal injuries.
Avoiding high-impact activities, prolonged sitting, and improper lifting can help slow progression.
The 4 Stages of DDD:
Dysfunction
Dehydration
Stabilization
Collapse
Not all patients progress through every stage. Early care can greatly improve long-term outcomes.
