What It Is: Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the spinal discs lose their flexibility and cushioning ability, leading to pain and discomfort. This condition is a natural part of aging but can be accelerated by other factors.

Causes: Causes include aging, genetic predisposition, repetitive stress, previous injuries, and lifestyle factors such as smoking and poor nutrition. Obesity and lack of physical activity can also contribute to DDD.

Symptoms: Symptoms include chronic pain, stiffness, reduced flexibility, discomfort during movement, and occasional flare-ups of severe pain. The pain may radiate to other areas, such as the hips or legs.

Typical Treatment: Typical treatment options include chiropractic care, physical therapy, pain management techniques, and lifestyle changes.
