Injury of the Week - Degenerative Disc Disease
Tuesday, November 3, 2009 at 09:27PM Degenerative disc disease refers to the cumulative microtears of soft tissue surrounding the protective disc within the spinal vertebrae. This diagnosis will also show decreased disc height and dehydration of the nucleus. The disc is a natural shock absorber protecting us when we jump, lift heavy objects and run. It also serves to separate and cushion the vertebrae.
