A member asked:
Narrowing of the disk space at the l4 5 and l5 s1, loss of disc height, how can we make it fixed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc narrowing: Disc narrowing is a natural aging process. It is just like wrinkles and gray hair. If you live long enough, it will happen to 100% of people. It is not arthritis which is a disease. It is also called degenerative disc disease or loss of height of disc space.
