Compression of the spine is when the vertebrae are squished too close together to the point that they can overlap ( like mine do ) or the gel --like substance starts to ooz out a little.The discs can stick out too and become displaced, causing great pain.This is commonly called a slipped disc.

 And the spine starts to become stiff --ankilosis. The causes are  old age, or lack of activity, or heavy lifting , pushing , and pulling. Or falling on one's  butt with force.
