Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a painful condition arising from damage to the intervertebral discs. These are disc-shaped cushions of connective tissue between each vertebra. These discs act as shock absorbers and minimize the impact of movement on the vertebrae. The unique architecture of the discs prevents the vertebrae from crushing against each other under
There are four classifications of disk pathology:

Displacement of a cervical intervertebral disc refers to protrusion or herniation of the disc between two adjacent bones (vertebrae) of the cervical spine in the neck (vertebrae C2 through C7).

Displacement of a lumbar disc refers to protrusion or herniation of the nucleus pulposus, of the cushion-like disc resting between any two of the five lumbar vertebrae (vertebrae L1 through L5) in the lower spine.
Other intervertebral disc displacement, lumbar regionM51. 26 Other intervertebral disc displacement, lumbar region - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
Prolapsed, herniated, or extruded intervertebral disc (PIVD) is a commonly encountered clinical entity. The surgical treatment by resection of the PIVD and decompressing the compressed nerve root has been the most accepted surgical treatment for several decades.

The vertebral column provides protection to the spinal cord that runs through its central cavity. Between each vertebra is an intervertebral disk. The disks are filled with a gelatinous substance, called the nucleus pulposus, which provides cushioning to the spinal column.
