alternative treatements
should there not be something about alternative treatements such as proliferant injection? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Noserider (talk • contribs) 14:26, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Section notes on "Possible Causes of DDD"
The content of the article's concluding section, "Possible Causes of DDD," is little more than gibberish. If the content is, in fact, pertinent to a discussion of the possible causes of DDD, an explanation of the relationship between the facts presented and the development of DDD should be elucidated. As it is, the entire section is so muddled that the legitimacy of the rest of the article is seriously impugned. The section, "Possible Causes of DDD," should be either clarified or simply removed.

Imaging findings often clinically irrelevant
This article would be a scary read for someone who just was told there was DDD seen on their imaging reports. It has been known for some time that DDD seen on imaging is most commonly not clinically relevant and this idea should receive significant mention in this article. Here is a recent review:  Quote: "Imaging findings of spine degeneration are present in high proportions of asymptomatic individuals, increasing with age. Many imaging-based degenerative features are likely part of normal aging and unassociated with pain. These imaging findings must be interpreted in the context of the patient’s clinical condition." 2001:56A:75B7:9B00:1CD2:C8F4:CB20:61F3 (talk) 18:48, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Degenerative disc disease
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Degenerative disc disease's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ReferenceA": From Mesoblast: http://investorsmedia.mesoblast.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=187006&p=irol-irhome From Preventive healthcare:  From Menopause:  From Failed back syndrome:  From Epidural administration:  From History of medicine: Galen, On the Natural Faculties, Books I, II, and III, Loeb Classical Library, Harvard, 2000 From Disaster medicine: Ramirez, M. National Strategies for Medical Contingency Planning seminar, September, 2007 From Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug: </li> <li>From Errol Flynn: Glancy, H. Mark. "Warner Bros film grosses, 1921–51", Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television (March 1995).</li> <li>From Emergency medicine: </li> <li>From Palliative care: </li> <li>From Allergy: NICE Diagnosis and assessment of food allergy in children and young people in primary care and community settings, 2011</li> <li>From Spinal disc herniation: Anjankar SD, Poornima S, Raju S, Jaleel M, Bhiladvala D, Hasan Q. Degenerated intervertebral disc prolapse and its association of collagen I alpha 1 Spl gene polymorphism: A preliminary case control study of Indian population. Indian J Orthop 2015;49:589-94</li> </ul>

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:17, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Pseudoscience recommended as treatment
"Treatment may include chiropractic to reduce pain". Is this vandalism? 31.20.106.40 (talk) 11:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
