As fluid leaks out through the tears, it can irritate the nerve fibers, resulting in inflammation and extremely painful symptoms in the low back.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the fluid leaking through the disc tear can irritate the adjacent exiting spinal nerve or sometimes called the sciatic nerve, sending pain into the buttocks and down the leg.<\/p>\n<p>Those who smoke, are overweight or perform heavy physical labor may be more prone to experience degenerative disc disease.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/contact\/\">Schedule an Appointment<\/a><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n\n                <div class=\"col-lg-6 col-md-7 col-sm-9 col-xxs-12 image-text__half image-text__img\">\n                    <div class=\"animated-image js-animated-image\">\n                        \n                            <div class=\"image-text__img-video-full\">\n                                <span class=\"js-animated-image-overlay animated-image-overlay\"><\/span>\n                                <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/84b0b577_medium.png\" class=\"object-fit\" alt=\"A Computer Generated Image Of The Inside Of A Human Spine\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/84b0b577_medium.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/84b0b577_medium-240x300.png 240w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/84b0b577_medium-819x1024.png 819w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/84b0b577_medium-768x960.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/84b0b577_medium-480x600.png 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>                            <\/div>\n                                            <\/div> <!-- image animation wrapper -->\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n    <section id=\"full-width-img-block_7849277fd95f7ad01a7a89d3356573a2\" class=\"full-width-image-text  full-width-image-text--box-overlay  js-animated-text-container js-scale-down-wrapper\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w.jpg\" class=\"full-width-image-text__img js-scale-down-item \" alt=\"Detailed drawings of the spine and other bone areas of the human body.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-420x315.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sciatica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/photo-1539815208687-a0f05e15d601-2000w-800x600.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/>    \n        <div class=\"container\">\n                            <div class=\"full-width-image-text__left\">\n            \n                <div class=\"full-width-image-text__content full-width-image-text__content--full \">\n                                            <h2 class=\"full-width-image-text__headline\">Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease<\/h2>\n                                                            <div class=\"full-width-image-text__description\">\n                    <p>Degenerative disc disease most often impacts the lumbar spinal region or lower back.
