Texas Back Institute

Texas Back Institute spine surgeon Dr. Uche Davidson explains disc degeneration in simple terms: spinal discs act as shock absorbers between the bones of your spine, allowing you to bend, twist, and move without bone rubbing against bone. Age, injury, repetitive strain, and even smoking can all wear down these discs over time.
The good news is that understanding why disc degeneration happens is the first step toward preventing and treating it effectively.

Spondylolisthesis is more common than you might think. It is found in an estimated 5 to 10% of adults, and becomes even more common after age 50, with women diagnosed more frequently than men. Most cases are degenerative, meaning they develop gradually as discs naturally thin with age. It doesn't always cause symptoms, which means you could have it without knowing.
Early evaluation can help identify if the condition is present and may provide more opportunities for nonsurgical treatment.
