Age related change: DJD is a poorly constructed phrase which improperly indicates that someone has a disease. This is not actually the case. Age related degeneration of the spine is part of the aging process. When these changes affect the mid-back (Thoracic spine), it can possibly (but uncommonly) cause disc, facet joint, and/or narrowing changes affecting the neural structures.
