What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative disc disease refers to symptoms of neck and back pain that are caused by wear and tear on a spinal disc. Spinal discs are gel-like structures situated between the bony vertebrae. Primarily composed of water, the discs act as shock absorbers for the spine, enabling it to bend and flex. With age, the spinal discs can begin to dehydrate and become stiffer, eventually breaking down and deteriorating. While this condition may cause no symptoms in some individuals, it can become chronic and debilitating in others. When there are symptoms, they usually involve pain, weakness, tingling, and numbness in the neck or back that radiates to another area.
