In old age the jelly filling the intervertebral discs cushioning the spinal column begins to dry out. And this desiccation causes their side walls to begin to bulge like the sidewalls of a car tire as it gets low in air.

In old age, the intervertebral discs tend to become dehydrated and lose some of their elasticity and flexibility. This can lead to a reduction in disc height, which may contribute to conditions such as degenerative disc disease and increased risk of disc herniation.
