What Is Spondylosis?
4. Dehydrated Disks
Our spines are made up of 33 separate pieces of bone that are known as vertebrae. Each of these vertebrae is separated by natural cushions that are disc shaped. These cushions are filled with a jelly-like substance that helps to absorb the shock every time there is movement in our spine.
As time goes by, the fluid inside these disks will gradually dry out. As they become dryer, they become less effective at absorbing the shock and this can make it increasingly harder for us to move our spine. This is a condition known in the medical field as disc desiccation.
