Disc related problems and degenerative disorders of the spine form among the most common complaints related to the spine. Degeneration of the spine is a continuous process and cannot be stopped. However prevention of such problems is achieved by a healthy lifestyle, proper exercise, avoidance of smoking and preventing obesity.In case you suffer from a disc problem either in your neck (cervical) or lower back (lumbar) you will require a thorough evaluation and assessment by your surgeon to ascertain the level of the disc and whether you require further investigation in the form of an MRI scan. The severity of the pain and the amount of disability will decide whether you require rest at home, admission to the hospital or surgery.Majority of disc problems can be treated without surgery and your doctor will only advise surgery if the pressure on your nerve roots is very severe.
