The spine plays a vital role in supporting our body weight, maintaining posture, enabling movement, and protecting the spinal cord and nerves. With ageing, the bones, discs, muscles, and ligaments of the spine gradually undergo wear and tear, which can impact daily activities and overall quality of life.One of the most common age-related changes in the spine is degeneration of the intervertebral discs. These discs act as cushions between the bones of the spine, but over time they lose moisture and flexibility. This can lead to reduced shock absorption, stiffness, and back or neck pain. Additionally, the joints of the spine may develop arthritis, causing inflammation, discomfort, and limited movement. Weakening of spinal muscles and reduced bone density can further increase the risk of poor posture, spinal instability, and fractures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-45e511f elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"45e511f\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-c3e75f8\" data-id=\"c3e75f8\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fff11e4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fff11e4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Understanding the Spine and Ageing\n<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-28573bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"28573bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The spine is made up of bones (vertebrae), intervertebral discs, joints, ligaments, muscles, and nerves. These components work together to provide strength and flexibility. With age, natural degeneration occurs, which may affect one or more parts of the spine.

Degeneration of Intervertebral Discs<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae. With age, these discs lose water content, become thinner, and less flexible. This can lead to disc degeneration, reduced shock absorption, and pain.<\/span><\/p><p><b>2. Osteoarthritis of the Spine<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ageing can cause wear and tear of the spinal joints, leading to osteoarthritis.

Bone Weakening (Osteoporosis)<br \/><\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As bone density decreases with age, especially in older adults, vertebrae may become weak and fragile.
