What is Degenerative
Disc Disease?

Intervertebral discs have gel-like core which gives them a soft, shock absorbing characteristic. These intervertebral discs act as cushions between the vertebrae in your spine, absorbing the impact of the body's daily activities. Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a condition of the body caused by deterioration of these intervertebral discs.
