Is Degenerative Disc Disease and Disc Space Narrowing the same thing?!


Question: Is Degenerative Disc Disease and Disc Space Narrowing the same thing!?
The chiropractor told me I had disc space narrowing!. Is that the same as degenerative disc disease!? It's extremely painful and I can't sit or stand for long periods of time!. Thanks for the help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No, they are referring to two different things!. DDD is the actual bone of the spine degenerating!. DSN is the intervertrebral disc, ie the cushion is failing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
