The structure of the neck consists of muscles that aid in supporting the cervical spine, thus fostering the movement of various body parts such as the shoulders, head, and upper back. Examples of muscles linked to the cervical spine include; suboccipital, erector spinae, and levator scapulae....
The disc is prone to degeneration over time, in which the inner core of the disc loses hydration and becomes less pliable. The disc loses height, and the outer annulus fibrosis weakens, bulges, and develops tears. 随着时...
It is important to note that disc degeneration can lead to or hasten the onset of additional spinal conditions, such as: Spinal stenosis, a form of spinal degeneration that leads to nerve root or spinal cord pinching. Osteoarthritis in the spine, changes in the facet joints at the back of ...
Does ankylosing spondylitis cause disc degeneration? What does degenerative disease of the spine mean? What is moderate spinal stenosis? Does degenerative disc disease cause bulging discs? How is degenerative myelopathy diagnosed? What are the symptoms of a herniated disc in the lower back?
degeneration and following end plate damage. This is one difference between normal aging and degenerative disease process. Additionally, nerve fibers normally only penetrate the outer area of the annulus, however, in degenerative disc disease, the nerves are noted to progress towards the nucleus and ...
Prevents degeneration of surrounding segments No bone graft required Quicker recovery and return to work Less invasive and painful than a fusion Reduces pain associated with disc disease While the artificial disc may well be a promising new technology, most spine surgeons today are very cautious. The...
Cervical disc degeneration may cause symptoms of pain, numbness, tingling, and/or weakness in the arms or shoulders, and may also cause neck pain. The available treatments are directed at these symptoms and do not represent a cure for the degenerative process. Neck Pain Pain, Numbness, or ...

Cervical disc herniations are most frequently caused by degeneration due to the normal aging process. As small tears in the disc’s outer layer (annulus) develop and enlarge over time, the jellylike inner layer (nucleus) m...
