Do you know what Degenerative Disc Disease is?

Essentially, it is an exaggeration of the normal aging process.

Over a period of time, one’s discs lose fluid and shrink. This causes vertebrae, which the discs separate, to move closer together and cause pressure on the nerves that exit from the intervertebral foramen.

Because of the loss of disc height, the ligaments holding the vertebrae together become loose and pull away from the bone. Other complications may also arise due to ligaments being pulled away. In most cases this condition can be treated very successfully by chiropractic.
