Facing Back Pain with Wine and Physical Activity.

Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) refers to degenerative processes of the spine resulting in reduced shock-absorbing ability, which may ultimately lead to disc herniation and spinal cord compression. Back pain is associated with this condition, representing the clinical feature mostly frequently referred by the patients. In this contribution, we analysed a recent review published in the Journal of Investigative Surgery, which discusses the mechanisms of the ROS production in IVDD with respect to resveratrol activity.
