Spinal discs are soft, compressible discs that separate the interlocking bones that make up your spine. These discs act like shock absorbers for your spine, enabling it to twist, flex or bend. Over time these discs wear and tear, or deteriorate. This is something that happens to all of us as we age, but not everyone experiences low back pain with the deterioration of these spinal discs.
