At birth, our discs contain 90% water. By the age of 60, this percentage drops to 70%.
With aging, the intervertebral discs lose their elasticity. Disc degeneration is observed in almost all people over the age of 60. Young athletes who engage in activities that put pressure on the spine are also at risk.
Degeneration is defined as a decrease in disc volume. It is not a disease in itself, but rather a state of dehydration and deterioration often caused by a combination of factors. Among other things, the following can accelerate the process:
- frequent trauma
- poor nutrition
- lack of exercise
- age
Results
- The disc is less well nourished
- The fibers lose their flexibility and viscosity
- There is a decrease in shock and vibration absorption capacity
At Clinique IDN, many patients have found relief from symptoms associated with disc degeneration through neurovertebral decompression therapy.
