(A) In X-ray imaging, compression led to an increase in disc degeneration, with a time-dependent and load-specific influence. The degeneration pattern in both temporary- and sustained-compression groups was similar. However, there was a notable difference in the rate of degeneration (White arrow: Indication of disc status after compression and control). (B) In MRI, observations at different intervals (2, 4, 6, and 12 weeks) post-compression revealed a progressive elevation in disc degeneration over time (White arrow: Indication of disc status after compression and control).
