First off, the term
"degenerative disc disease" itself is very misleading... the fact
is, degeneration of discs is not a disease... it’s actually quite
norm
al. All of us experience some level of deterioration, however it’s the
cases of excessive breakdown that actually lead to pain and other symptoms.
Degeneration of a disc is
simply a breakdown and wearing away of the disc, which serves as a cushion
between the vertebrae of the spine. Discs are a gel-like substance,
comprised of over 90% water and are
norm
ally strong and durable, however, when placed under uneven pressure and
compression for years they can easily give way.
So what causes all this
uneven pressure? There are several factors such as excessive body weight and
years of physical stress... however, the biggest cause is always a
combination of muscle imbalances.
Muscle imbalances create
uneven pressure and wear and tear by pulling ligaments, bones, and joints
out of place... especially, the pelvis and spine. For example, extended
periods of sitting leads to an imbalance between the hip flexors (muscles in
the front of the hip/upper thigh) and the glutes... and this imbalance pulls
your pelvis and spine out of place.
The good news, when the
body is close to balanced, there’s little or no uneven pressure and the
compression on discs is dramatically reduced. So what does this mean? It
means years and years of healthy discs... and that means no back pain J
