Page 1 of 6 Spine and Disc Degeneration and Chiropractic Your spinal bones begin to deform; your discs swell, then shrink; your ligaments, tendons and muscles begin to harden and weaken; and your entire spinal column loses its balance, flexibility, stability and strength. What is happening? Your spine is degenerating.
Spinal degeneration is often caused by long-standing stress, along with the bones, tendons, ligaments and muscles, your nerves, body chemistry and internal organs can also be affected. Spinal degeneration leads to less overall ability to adapt to the pressures of life; you lose the spring to your step and the youth in your being. You also lose your height.
