Key Takeaways from the Degenerative Disc Disease Pipeline Report
Degenerative Disc Disease Overview
Degenerative disc disease (spondylosis) is used to describe the regular changes that occur in human spinal discs as they age. The discs usually act as shock absorbers for the human spine, which allows the body to flex, bend, and twist. With aging, there are several other factors, such as the drying out of the disc, tears in the outer core of the disc during daily activities, and sports and injuries leading to swelling, soreness, and instability, contributing to the development of degenerative disc disease. This disease often leads to multiple types of disorders, such as lumbar spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis, and retrospondylolisthesis.
About 90% of people experience an episode of debilitating back pain at a later point in their lives. The majority of cases experienced are asymptomatic. The spinal disks are made up of a soft inner core and a tough outer wall. The disks change in ways that may cause degenerative disk disease, such as: Dry out (When a person is born, the disks in the spine are mostly made up of water. As a person ages, they lose water and get thinner. Flatter disks can’t absorb shocks as well.
The water loss also means less cushion or padding between the vertebrae. This can lead to other problems in the spine that may cause pain and Crack (the stress of everyday movements and minor injuries over the years can cause tiny tears in the outer wall, which contains nerves. Any tears near the nerves can become painful. And if the wall breaks down, the disk’s soft core may push through the cracks. The disk may bulge, or slip out of place, which is called a slipped or herniated disk. It can affect nearby nerves. In some cases, degenerative disk disease can lead to numbness and tingling in the arms and legs. It can also cause the leg muscles to become weak. This means the damaged disks may be affecting the nerves near the spine. The goal is to ease pain and stop more damage.
If other treatments don’t work, doctor may recommend surgery. One procedure, called a discectomy, removes the injured part of the disk. This helps take pressure off the nerves. In some cases, the doctor might remove the whole disk and put an artificial one in. If person have a severe problem, the doctor might fuse (permanently connect) the bones in the spine after they remove the disk.
