In degenerative disc disease (spinal osteochondrosis), the cartilage between the vertebrae of the spinal column is damaged. This cartilage acts as a shock absorber — it keeps the vertebrae from pressing against and rubbing on each other.
When the cartilage is damaged and then breaks down, the vertebrae begin to press against each other, and the blood vessels and nerves passing between them become compressed — which leads to various disorders.
1Main causes of acute muscle spasm pain (“crick” in the back or shoulder)
- Disc protrusion (disc displacement)
- Herniated disc (disc herniation)
- Degenerative disc disease (spinal osteochondrosis — problems of the spinal cartilage)
2Treatment methods
- Manual therapy — reduces nerve compression and eases pain
- Dry needling — releases muscle knots
- Therapeutic exercise — strengthens the spine and prevents the pain from recurring
- Osteopathy — finds the cause and rebalances the body
