Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)

Your spine is composed of alternating segments of vertebrae (bone) and discs (gel filled cushion). Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is actually not a disease but a natural occurrence resulting from the aging process.  With DDD, your discs slowly begin to dry out and shrink as you age.  The degeneration of the disc may be accelerated due to genetics, excessive and repeated wear and tear on your spine, and poor health and lifestyle choices.
