What are the degenerative diseases

Degenerative diseases are clinically common in the following categories: first, degenerative diseases of the spine, often referred to as cervical spondylosis, small joint misalignment of the thoracic spine, slipped lumbar vertebrae, herniated lumbar discs, spinal stenosis and a series of other diseases. The main pathological changes of these diseases are localized osteophytes, ligamentous hypertrophy, calcification, or herniated discs, which cause lesions in the spine itself and can lead to a series of peripheral neuropathy symptoms through the compression and stimulation of the spinal cord and nerve roots. Second, joint-related degeneration, such as osteoarthritis, traumatic arthritis, or damage to other accessory structures within the joint, such as meniscus, cartilage, ligament damage, etc., all belong to this category. Third, bone related degenerative lesions, such as abnormal osteophytes at certain bony prominences, or what people call bone spurs, often cause significant local pain, swelling, and severe restriction of movement.
