Degenerative Disc Disease

چکیده
The spinal cord is one of the most important and most sensitive organs in the body. If it is damaged the nerve cells do not regenerate but are replaced with fibrous tissue. Thus injuries usually result in permanent damage. Therefore, the spinal cord is protected in a very special fashion. It goes through a bony canal within the spine; it is surrounded by protective bone everywhere except over the discs. This extreme protection reflects its importance and its fragility.
