A degenerated disc often is the result of degenerative disc disease or an injury to the spine. The primary cause of a degenerated disc is aging. As an individual ages the disc becomes drier and shrinks, consequently the disc loses the capacity to absorb the affects of activity on the vertebrae. Symptoms for a degenerated disc include pain and difficulty with movement in the affected area of the spine. Treatment for individuals with a degenerated disc might include non-invasive therapies such as physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation, and anti-inflammatory medications. However, should the degenerated disc not respond to more conservative treatments; surgical options such as spinal fusion or artificial disc replacement may be used to relieve pain and restore mobility. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of a degenerated disc?
