Include Degenerative Disc Disease information on your My EmpowHer page
Degenerative disk disease occurs when wear and tear on the spinal disks causes pain and other symptoms. Spinal disks serve as shock absorbers, protecting the spine and helping it stay flexible as it bends and twists. Most people experience some degeneration in disks as they age, but not all degeneration will result in symptoms characteristic of degenerative disk disease.
