We all age. Our bodies age. Our finger nails age. Our spinal discs age. Now, there’s something your West Des Moines chiropractor can do something about though! Spinal discs show aging after they start degenerating. Disc degeneration in a West Des Moines spine may first be exposed when there is some back pain. Sometimes, disc degeneration goes ignored until years later. New research reveals that disc degeneration for any of us in West Des Moines may begin as early as the teen years. Executive Chiropractic of Iowa is all about easing any pain and averting any degeneration possible with nutrition and West Des Moines chiropractic care.

West Des Moines DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life

In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification differentiates levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is severe degeneration. Researchers examined the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most common in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is stated to be “natural” to find that disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That signifies that disc degeneration starts in the teen years of life!?
