The desiccation or dehydration of the disc material is known as disc desiccation. Between each vertebrae of the spinal column are discs that have gelatinous material. This water-like substance acts as a cushion and a shock absorber. Desiccation of disc material is most common in elderly people and can happen anywhere in the spinal column from the top to the bottom.
Disc desiccation is another of the many diagnostic terms for disc degeneration, also known as degenerative disc disease. When discs desiccate, they dry out and shrink, losing mass, circumference and diameter. While this process is completely normal and expected in all humans as we age, it has been vilified by the back pain industry and is often implicated as a primary or secondary source of pain in many diagnosed patients.
