Answers:
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a gradual process that may compromise the spine. Although DDD is relatively common, its effects are usually not severe enough to warrant medical attention. Almost 80% of the population suffers from DDD but something such as a car accident can definiatley aggravate the sympomts but would not be a direct cause.
Other Answers:
Yes. Without proper treatment, such as Chiropractic, this is a common sequela to motor vehicle accident injuries.
"Degenerative Disc Disease refers to the loss of loss of hydration in the disc and weakening of the annulus (outer lining of the disc). Trauma can cause the annulus to tear and disc material leaks out and presses on a nerve. Degenerative disc disease is very common in the human population but is not always symptomatic."
