Your Condition
Disc Degeneration
Disc degeneration is often the effect of natural daily stresses and minor injuries that cause spinal discs to gradually lose water as the rigid outer shell of a disc weakens. This can cause them to begin to collapse, resulting in pressure being put on the nerves and joints in the spinal column, causing pain and weakness.
