Back 22

Cause -as you get older the water content of disk lessens and can not absorb as much shock. then pushes part of disk out of vertebrae

Symptoms: -pain or numbness in back and back of thigh,

Treatment: -if disk has completely deteriorated then they will replace it -most cases will heal themselves
