The Vertebrae Degeneration Model is an anatomical teaching tool that illustrates the progressive stages of spinal disc and vertebral degeneration. It is commonly used in medical education, chiropractic and physiotherapy training, and patient consultations to explain common causes of back pain and spinal deterioration.
Key Features:
Multiple Degeneration Stages: Typically includes four stages—from a healthy vertebra and disc to advanced degeneration—clearly demonstrating changes in disc height, bone structure, and alignment.
Realistic Detailing: Shows conditions such as disc thinning, herniation, osteophyte (bone spur) formation, and vertebral compression.
Cross-Sectional View: Some models include sagittal or side views for better visualization of disc and nerve involvement.
Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, long-lasting PVC or resin, suitable for frequent handling in clinical or educational settings.
Mounted on Base: Usually displayed on a stand with labels or a descriptive plaque for easy reference and explanation.
