Clinically Relevant Anatomy
[edit source]
Dengenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is thought to begin with changes to the annulus fibrosis, intervertebral disc, and subchondral bone. The process of degeneration is divided into three classifications including: early dysfunction, intermediate instability, and final stabilization.[1]
Mechanism of Injury / Pathological Process
[edit source]
Degenerative disc disease refers to a condition in which the involved disc causes LBP. Lumbar degenerative disc disease is usually the result of a twisting injury to the lower back, such as when a person swings a golf club or rotates to put an object on a surface to the side of or behind them. [2]
The pain is also frequently caused by simple wear and tear on the spine and comes with the general aging process.
Degenerative disc disease is fairly common, and it is estimated that at least 30% of people aged 30-50 years old will have some degree of disc space degeneration, although not all will have pain or ever receive a formal diagnosis.[3]
Clinical Presentation[edit source]
People with DDD will have low back pain; however there are varying levels of severity. Pain is often chronic, but one with DDD can experience varying episodes of exacerbation where pain levels are elevated [4]
Activities that typically increase pain include:
- Sitting for extended periods of time
- Rotating, bending, or lifting
Activities that typically decrease pain include:
- Changing positions often
- Lying down
- Staying active[5]
Diagnostic Procedures[edit source]
