Degenerative arthritis is a progressive condition that affects millions of people.  Most individuals do not realize the early warnings signs of degenerative arthritis or believe it is something they must live with.  The truth is that arthritis is not normal and you are not forced to live and deal with it alone.

 

Degenerative arthritis in our spines is caused by abnormal function of our joints.  We have natural curves in our spines that allow for proper function and movement.  Daily stresses such as sitting, driving, sleeping, and even gravity can decrease our natural curves.  When we lose the proper curves in our spine we lose proper function of the joints.  If joints do not function correctly you may develop degenerative arthritis.
