What Causes Spinal Degeneration?
Spinal degeneration is usually caused by years of longstanding vertebral subluxations in your spine. What are vertebral subluxations?
Vertebral Subluxations
Day-to-day stress can cause your spine's many complex parts (intervertebral discs, ligaments, tendons and the very bone itself) to deteriorate. Stress often causes the spinal vertebrae to shift from their proper places, or become misaligned and irritate the surrounding nerves, bones, discs, ligaments and other soft tissues. This serious spinal condition is called a vertebral subluxation complex. Subluxations, often painless, are common; they can be termed a "hidden epidemic."
Spinal Decay
Spinal degeneration is like tooth decay (often a painless process) that by the time a person notices its effects or feels any pain has been going on for many years.
