Premature DDD: I authored a book about degenerative disc disease offering interventions proven to protect your height and posture. Premature degenerative disc disease can be inherited resulting in loss of height and malignments like acquired kyphosis and scoliosis. The vertical orientation of the upright spine mechanically compresses discs. Yoga, Pilates and Inversión tables lengthen and distract the spine.
