Degenerative disc disease occurs over time with age as the cartilage in your body changes. This disease can also occur from repetitive strains, such as in physically demanding work, or through an accident or serious injury that weaken the cartilage.
Changes usually start long before they can be detected in imaging techniques, such as x-rays, yet it is still important that symptoms are treated quickly to prevent additional wear. Our Non-Surgical Spine Center can look at the underlying causes of your symptoms and treat the root causes of degenerative disc disease before they become truly debilitating.
