[quote=Anonymous]It depends on if you have degenerative joint disease or degenerative disc disease. Both Mark changes in the spine. Degenerative joint disease is usually a breakdown of the surfaces of the bones of a joints. This causes more friction and more inflammation in the joint. Think of any mammals surface versus sandpaper. Degenerative disease usually marks a decrease in the fluid of your disc. This decreases the distance between the vertebrae and can cause pressure on the bones and more often the nerves of the spine. This is due mostly to aging, but also can be due to injuries and increased wear and tear. Preventative health would include maintaining a healthy weight, postural exercises, maintaining flexibility, and no smoking. [/quote]
