How Can Disc Desiccation Be Treated?

Your spine is comprised of two main parts. A vertebral body and an intervertebral disc. These structures form a fibrocartilaginous joint which acts as shock absorbers in the spine.

Unfortunately, as we age, certain structures within our body become worn out or start to degrade. As such, certain degenerative conditions can surface, one of which is Disc Desiccation.

 What Is It?

Disc desiccation is a degenerative disease affecting older people. The intervertebral discs can become “chronically dehydrated” so to speak and lose their elasticity and shock absorbing properties.

It is a condition that can cause a lot of pain and discomfort, unfortunately.
