What Are the Symptoms for Diagnosing Degenerative Disc Disease?
The spine consists of a column of bones, known as vertebrae, connected together with a gel-filled disc between each bone to act as a shock absorber. Degenerative disc disease, also known as spondylosis, describes a spinal condition that occurs when the intervertebral discs between each vertebra dry out and shrink. Patients with degenerative disc disease exhibit symptoms, some of which they feel, but others go unnoticed until they are detected through diagnostic tests.
