Intervertebral disc pneumatosis is caused by degeneration of the intervertebral disc, which is the result of dehydration and shrinkage of the nucleus pulposus, and is generally visible on CT scan. The common causes are physiological factors such as cold stimulation, and pathological factors such as intervertebral disc lesions. 1. Physiological factors: related to the usual warmth, if you do not pay attention to their own warmth in cold weather, such as prolonged cold stimulation of the body, it will lead to the invasion of cold, resulting in intervertebral discs, but also cause spasm of the surrounding muscles, vascular constriction, increasing the pressure of the intervertebral discs, which can be accompanied by pain. 2. Pathological factors: long-term work in one position, low head, bending, heavy lifting, etc. caused by disc herniation or bulging, or with the age of the intervertebral disc degenerative changes, such as spinal stenosis, etc., resulting in a decrease in the intervertebral discs and the joint capsule of the water, the joints are subjected to a greater stress stimulation caused by the phenomenon of vacuum, which leads to the intervertebral discs of pneumatosis, and the normal activities will also be affected. If you find a pneumatic disc, you should cooperate with your doctor, standardize your treatment, and improve your lifestyle to slow down the progression of the disease.
