It is very common for people’ spinal discs to degenerate over time. Research has shown that by the age of 35, approximately 30% of people will show evidence of spinal degeneration. Here are some signs of spinal degeneration you should look out for:
- Nerve injuries: Spinal degeneration can cause nerve compression or damage resulting in tingling, numbness, and weakness.
- Spinal deformity: Spinal degeneration can lead to spinal deformities such as scoliosis or kyphosis. These spinal deformities can create visible changes in the curvature of the spine.
- Limited range of motion: Spinal degeneration can lead to reduced flexibility and limited motion. This can make it difficult to perform some daily activities.
