What causes degenerative
disc disease?

What causes degenerative
disc disease?

Degenerative disc disease occurs when the spinal discs, which act as cushions between the vertebrae, begin to wear down. Common causes include:

  • Aging: Natural wear-and-tear on the discs over time.
  • Injury or trauma: Damage to the spine that accelerates disc degeneration.
  • Repetitive strain: Overuse from activities or poor posture.
  • Genetics: A family history of disc degeneration.

Symptoms may include chronic back pain, stiffness, radiating pain into the arms or legs, and reduced flexibility in the spine.

Our approach

How we treat degenerative
disc disease

How we treat degenerative
disc disease

At OAK Chiro & Wellness, we take a holistic approach to treating degenerative disc disease and promoting spinal health. Your personalized treatment plan may include:

  • Spinal adjustments: Chiropractors use techniques like flexion-distraction therapy to take pressure off compressed nerves. Targeted adjustments also reduce local inflammation and muscle tension.
  • Massage therapy: Massage loosens tight muscles and breaks down knotted trigger points caused by uneven spinal mechanics. This can reduce painful muscle spasms related to disc degeneration.
  • Flexion distraction: This is a non-thrusting technique where the chiropractor gently pulls on the patient’s spine to decompress the discs and facet joints. It reduces pressure on compressed nerves and increases fluid circulation to discs.
  • Therapeutic exercises: Chiropractors provide instruction on specific core-strengthening and stability exercises that help support proper spinal alignment to take stress off degenerating discs.
  • Lifestyle counseling: Our chiropractor will counsel you on posture, ergonomics, sleep habits, nutrition, stress reduction, and modifying activities to protect your back. This helps slow the progression of DDD.
  • Traction: Spinal traction uses gentle force to extend the spine to take pressure off compressed discs and nerves. This provides localized pain relief.

Our goal is to provide immediate relief while addressing the root cause of your symptoms for long-term recovery.

Avoiding degenerative disc pain

Avoiding degenerative
disc pain

To reduce the risk of developing or worsening degenerative disc disease, follow these tips:

  • Maintain good posture: Sit and stand with your spine aligned to reduce strain on the discs.
  • Stay active: Engage in low-impact exercises like walking, swimming, or yoga to keep your spine healthy.
  • Lift properly: Use your legs rather than your back when lifting heavy objects.
  • Maintain a healthy weight: Reduce stress on your spine by managing your weight.
  • Avoid smoking: Smoking can impair blood flow to the discs, accelerating degeneration.
