MRI Study of Lumbar and Cervical Intervertebral Disc Degeneration – A cross sectional analysis.

Background Low back pain (LBP) is a condition characterized by degenerative changes in the spine, including intervertebral discs and ligaments. This degeneration leads to increased impairment, reduced productivity, and increased healthcare costs. Risk factors for disc degeneration include genetic factors, mechanical stress, and injury. Imaging procedures like X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs are used to diagnose intervertebral disc diseases.
