Disc Degeneration May Co-Exist in Lower Back and Neck

Have a degenerated disc in the lower back? You may also suffer a degenerated disc in your neck. Shoreline Medical Services/ Hutter Chiropractic Office finds this is often the situation in its Groton chiropractic practice and we strive to lessen both neck pain and lower back pain due to a degenerated disc.

Degenerative disc disease reduces the disc's flexibility and size. This results in a narrowing of the spinal canal area where the spinal cord and spinal nerves lay. Pain is a common outcome.

Degenerated discs appear to be a systemic problem. (1) Degenerative disc disease is not isolated to a single portion of the spine it seems.

Researchers examined patients with a lower back disc herniation to healthy volunteers. 98% of those with lower back disc herniations were found to have disc degeneration in their necks while only 88% of healthy volunteers did. (2)
