Conditions
Report
Arthritis of the spine can occur in the cervical (neck), thoracic (mid-back) or lumbar (low back). It occurs in the small joints of the vertebrae called facet joints. As we age, these joints can enlarge and lose their protective cartilage. This causes pain. Arthritis of the spine has also been called, incorrectly, Degenerative Disc Disease.
Degenerative Disc Disease
Report
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a breakdown of the intervertebral disc. This disc acts as a cushion between the bones of the spine. As we age our spinal discs lose their water content and they degenerate. A degenerated disc cannot provide adequate cushioning between the bones of the spine. The bones begin to rub together and this causes pain.
Lower Back Pain Lumbar
Report
Eighty percent of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. Lower back pain is a cause of significant disability and loss of work in the United States. Causes include disk herniation, disk bulge, degenerative disk disease, low back strain or sprain, spine tumor or spinal infection.
