The surrounding features of the spine such as nerves, discs and joints begin to age quicker and are continually more stressed.  This phase of the degeneration process rarely is accompanied with any major pain.  At this point, there is a good chance that with the proper care, you can return to normal.<\/li>\n<li>Phase 2 (Timestamp:  0:20):  In the second phase of spinal degeneration, there is a often narrowing of the discs and potentially deformation in the bones.  Your posture is often beginning to degenerate as well at this point.  As the spinal canal, or opening begins to narrow, there are often significant aches and pains associated.  Fatigue and stress are more common at this phase.  There is a good chance of improvement at this stage with the proper care.<\/li>\n<li>Phase 3: (Timestamp:  0:30):  In the third phase of spinal degeneration, there is significant physical and mental involvement due to the level of issues here.  There is most likely nerve damage as well as deformation of the bones and discs.  There would a significant loss of energy and height at this point.  Some reversal is possible.<\/li>\n<li>Phase 4: (Timestamp:  0:39):  In the fourth phase of spinal degeneration, most damage is permanent including scar tissue, nerve damage and deformation.  At this point, the condition is irreversible.  Management of pain and discomfort is the best option here.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/dfwchiro2010\">Marco Abanico<\/a> is a staff writer for <a title=\"arlington tx chiropractor\" href=\"http:\/\/www.dfwchiromassage.com\/blog\">DFWChiromassage Spine Blog<\/a> and a chiropractor in the Dallas\/Fort Worth metroplex.
