Spinal Cord Surgery
Degenerative spine disease is a general term that refers to any disease of the spinal column that results from the aging process and wear and tear that occurs to the bone and soft tissues of the spine. While some of this type of spinal disease is normal with the normal aging process, some people appear to be more prone to the development of this type of spine disease than others. Additionally, people who put increased strain on their necks and backs can increase the rate at which this wear and tear occurs.
