Disc Disease
Degenerative disc disease is the deterioration or alteration of the intervertebral discs, the structures that cushion between the vertebrae of the spine. Over time these discs may lose height, hydration, or resilience.
Common symptoms: Neck or back pain, stiffness, and, at times, discomfort that radiates toward the arms or legs when there is compression of a nerve.
Common causes: It is usually related to the wear that comes with the passage of time, repeated exertion, or sustained postures.
Which specialist treats it? The neurologist and the neurosurgeon are the professionals who study degenerative disc disease and its effect on the nerve structures. If back pain is persistent or is accompanied by tingling, it is advisable to have a specialist review it.
