Dr. Paulette Hugulet, DC, LLC is all for alleviating any pain and preventing any degeneration possible with nutrition and La Grande chiropractic care.
La Grande DISC DEGENERATION AND AGING: 2nd to 5th Decades of Life
In spine radiology, the Pfirrmann classification defines levels of disc degeneration. Grade 1 is less degeneration. Grade 5 is really bad degeneration. Researchers studied the MRI images of 653 patients of all ages. Grade 3 degeneration is most usual in those in their 2nd to 5th decades of life. It is stated to be “natural” to see disc degeneration start in the 2nd decade of life. (1) That signifies that disc degeneration begins in the teen years of life!?

WHAT TO DO
Feed your discs early and often. Disc degeneration starts in the 2nd decade of life! More and more news comes about the value of nutrition.
