Disks are the shock absorbers of the spinal world. They are tiny buffers between the vertebrae. As we get older, our disks can become fragile, as the wear and tear of daily living and hard knocks take their toll.
A rip in the exterior of a disk can cause nerves to react intensely and you will experience pain. This type of degenerative disk disease can get worse with too much sitting, bending, twisting or lifting. What's too much? Your spine will tell you through the protestations of your disks.
