Degenerated Low Back
Notice the thin discs at the lower three levels. See the changes in the bone around those discs.
Notice as well the degeneration in the facet joints that are located to the left of the nerves.  These facet joints are a very common site of pain. When these facets degenerate, they stop moving properly and this causes more degeneration to occur in the poorly moving facets. Chiropractors can help move the facets and thus free up their motion somewhat. Good nutrition is important to a spine like this and regular exercise is also very important.
When the nerves  get pinched, either by the facets, the discs or the misshaped bones,  then pain might extent into the buttocks or shoot down a leg. Chiropractor can often help with this kind of pain.
The same thing can happen in the neck.
