Degenerative disk disease (DDD) is a common cause of low back pain (LBP); however, the exact relationship between the two remains unknown. The functional spinal unit (FSU) consisting of an anterior intervertebral disk and two posterior facet joints undergo structural changes as a result of ...
The treatment for degenerative disc disease is primarily conservative. The majority of patients with significant pain generally improve with time, as well as non-operative treatments such as oral medications, physical therapy, and other modalities. Epidural steroid injections and facet joint injections ...
Degenerative disease of the spine is a definition that includes a wide spectrum of degenerative abnormalities. Degeneration involves bony structures and the intervertebral disk, although many aspects of spine degeneration are strictly linked because the main common pathogenic factor is identified in chronic...
Disk narrowing also changes the orientation of the facet joints, causing potential abnormal rubbing of the facet bones against another. This can lead to the enlarging of the bones by the rubbing. This is the beginnings of the so called facet arthropathy. This is the “bones spurs” pinching t...
Radiologic evaluation of degenerative spine disease focuses on the anatomic relationships between the disk, vertebral endplates and facet joints with the subarachnoid space, nerve roots, and spinal cord. Although MRI lacks the detail of high resolution computed tomography for defining the anatomy of ...
Degenerative discs and osteoarthritis often occur hand in hand because the disc and facet joints (the joints in the back affected by osteoarthritis) areboth part of the same three-joint complex. What kind of pain does degenerative disc disease cause?
Degeneration of the lumbar disc, associated degenerative facet arthritis, and spinal stenosis are the most common causes of low back and leg pain in the aging population, and the mature athlete is not immune from these processes. Back pain has been associated with higher costs of treatment, ce...
