Can a Herniated Disc Cause Degenerative Disc Disease?
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a term used to describe what occurs in the spinal discs as a person ages. The discs in our back begin to lose elasticity, flexibility and the ability to absorb shock as we age. Degenerative disc disease can affect many parts of the spine but usually attacks the lower back. There are many causes, including a herniated disc.
