Other cervical disc degeneration - what does this mean
Other cervical disc degeneration occurs when the discs between the vertebrae of the neck become damaged due to wear and tear or age-related changes. this can lead to a decrease in the cushioning effect of the discs, which can cause pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility in the neck.
What happens during the disease - other cervical disc degeneration
Other cervical disc degeneration is a condition caused by the gradual wearing away of the discs in the cervical spine. this can be caused by age-related changes, trauma, or repetitive motion. as the discs deteriorate, the space between the vertebrae narrows, resulting in nerve compression and pain. over time, the bones of the spine may begin to rub against each other, leading to further nerve damage and pain.
