Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) sounds scary โ but understanding it can actually empower you to protect your spine better. ๐ง โจ
Hereโs what you might not know:\n โ
By age 50, almost everyone has some disc degeneration โ even if they feel fine!
โ
Your spinal discs start 80% water โ but dry out as you age, reducing flexibility.
โ
Smokers are more prone to early disc wear due to reduced blood flow.
โ
Not all MRI changes cause pain โ symptoms are what truly matter.
โ
Every extra 10kg of weight adds 50kg of stress on your lower back when lifting!
Knowledge is power.
โจ Understanding how your spine ages helps you act early to stay mobile and pain-free.
