What phase is your spine in?
Dr. Mark breaks down what a healthy, normal spine should look like and how the spine can change over time as degeneration progresses.
➡️ Phase 0: Healthy Curve and spaces
➡️ Phase 1: Loss of the normal spinal curvature
➡️ Phase 2: Degenerative disc changes begin to develop
➡️ Phase 3: More advanced degeneration, including bone spurs and arthritis
These changes don’t always happen overnight, and understanding what’s happening in your spine can be an important first step toward figuring out what may be contributing to your pain, stiffness, numbness, or limited mobility.
