What is Aging Spine? 

The spine is comprised of bones and discs. The discs are like gelatin. As we get older, the discs begin to dry out, and never again cushion the bones. Without the cushioning of the discs, the nerve roots or spinal cord (or both) begin to get squeezed or compelled. This situation is known as aging degeneration or disc degeneration.

  • A nerve conduction velocity study(NCV) electromyogram helps find nerve and muscle harm.

How spine age?

As we get older in years, the discs begin to dry out and never again cushion the bones. Without the cushioning of the discs, the nerve roots, or the spinal cord (or both) start to get pressured. This is known as disc degeneration.

Degenerative Disks: Your spine comprises bones called vertebrae stacked on top of one another and in the middle of between each bone. Over a long time, those discs start to get worn out, which makes your vertebrae rub against one another.
