    Degenerative disc disease; Other names: Degenerative disc disorder, intervertebral disc degeneration: Degenerated disc between C5 and C6 (vertebra at the top of the picture is C2), with osteophytes anteriorly (to the left) on the lower portion of the C5 and upper portion of the C6 vertebral body.

    Degenerative changes begin to occur without symptoms as early as age 25–30 years. Not uncommonly, people experience at least one severe case of low back pain by the age of 35. This can be expected to improve and become less prevalent as the individual develops osteophyte formation around the discs.

  4. Modic changes - Wikipedia

    From the age of 25 to 40 years, there is a steep increase in their prevalence, which levels out about 40 years of age and is stable until 80+ years. [7] Modic changes are estimated to affect approximately 349 million of the adult population worldwide.[July 2021 est.] [8] Modic changes is a descriptive term used by radiologists in MRI evaluations.

    Degenerative disc disease causes narrowing of the spaces. [27] ... In a study of 146 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (mean age, 68 years, 42% women) who did not ...

  6. Spinal disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_disease

    Some of the common cervical spine diseases include degenerative disc disease, cervical stenosis, and cervical disc herniation. Degenerative disc disease occurs over time when the discs within each vertebra in the neck begin to fall apart and begin to disintegrate. Because each vertebra can cause pain in different areas of the body, the pain ...

    Before age 40, approximately 25% of people show evidence of disc degeneration at one or more levels. Beyond age 40, more than 60% of people show evidence of disc degeneration at one or more levels on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). [10] These degenerative changes are a normal part of the ageing process and do not correlate to pain. [11]

  8. Discitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discitis

    According to a 2008 study, the incidence of discitis in the United States is around 0.4 to 2.4 per 100,000 people each year depending on age group. [5] According to a later 2016 study, the combined prevalence of discitis and vertebral osteomyelitis with or without spinal epidural abscess for persons under 20 years old is uncommon (0.3 per 100,000 persons), and higher in older patients (6.5 per ...

  9. Spinal fusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinal_fusion

    Degeneration happens more frequently at these levels due to increased motion and stress. [6] The thoracic spine is more immobile, so most fusions are performed due to trauma or deformities like scoliosis, kyphosis, and lordosis. [4] Conditions where spinal fusion may be considered include the following: Degenerative disc disease; Spinal disc ...
