It’s like death and taxes, inevitable facts of life that we can’t avoid.
Research shows that 71% of men and 77% of women <50 years old have Degenerative Disc Disease. Those numbers jump to over 90% for both sexes over the age of 50.
Furthermore; MRI studies have shown that for healthy individuals who don’t have a single symptom of disc issues can indeed have disc bulges, herniations, and decreased disc height. Meaning that these findings are purely incidental and don’t always warrant an immediate intervention.
