What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative disc disease occurs when intervertebral discs lose water content and structural integrity, flattening or bulging and irritating surrounding nerves. According to Cleveland Clinic, some degree of disc degeneration is present in most adults over 40, though only a portion develop significant symptoms.
