

It’s not a disease but rather a degenerative condition which
causes chronic pain from a damaged disk



Intervertebral disk disorder associated with nervous
system



Can occur anywhere in the spine, but most common in the
cervical and lumbar regions



Everyone eventually acquires this disease as we age


Onset of DDD affect people in their 30s and 40s



Severe back pain radiating down the sciatic nerve



Burning, tingling, weakness and numbness in arms or legs



Standing, sitting, driving, bending, lifting, twisting, and
kneeling can heighten pain levels


Nucleus deteriorates with aging resulting in disk
degeneration



Loss of disk fluid creates stenosis of the vertebral bodies



Narrowing of the vertebrae put pressure on nerve roots



Bulging or ruptured disks are cracks of the outer surface
from heavy lifting or auto accident


Initially a physical exam consisting of range of
motion, check nerve-related changes, and look for
fractures or infection



X-rays would show the narrowing between the vertebral
bodies



CT scan shows how much space is available for the nerve
roots to pass through



MRI tests are the most significant diagnostic imaging that
shows disk herniation and compressed nerves


Modifying daily activities and physical therapy



Analgesics, NSAIDs and oral steroids are prescribed to
reduce pain



Epidural injections and nerve root blocks are before
surgery



Surgery is a last resort for treatment of DDD


Due to the aging process, DDD is impossible to prevent



Quitting smoking and regular exercises can reduce the
early onset of the disease



Proper ergonomics when standing, sitting, and lifting are
also helpful


Depends on the individual, the severity of degenerative
changes, and type of work



Most people recover after 6-12 weeks and some never
recover
