Degeneration and no: It is age related changes to the spine that usually needs no treatment . Smoking can accelerate these changes 4 times faster than in a non smoker so stop that habit if you smoke otherwise stay in shape with regular workouts and get adequate sleep and maintain good vitamin d levels and adequate calcium intake. For a lot of people, it has little or no symptoms.
