What is loss of disc and marginal spurring at multiple levels?

Loss of disc refers to the degeneration or reduction of intervertebral disc height, often due to aging or injury, which can lead to decreased cushioning between vertebrae. Marginal spurring, or osteophyte formation, occurs when bone spurs develop along the edges of vertebrae as a response to pressure and stress, typically associated with conditions like osteoarthritis. Together, these changes can indicate spinal degeneration, potentially leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Treatment may involve physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgical intervention.
