Degenerative Disc Disease

Personalized Cervical & Thoracic Radiculopathy Pain Management

Does your back ache when you sit, stand, or move? Does stiffness and discomfort make daily activities difficult? Degenerative Disc Disease occurs when the spinal discs between your vertebrae wear down. This deterioration can be due to aging, injury, or various lifestyle factors. This loss of cushioning can lead to inflammation, nerve irritation, and chronic back pain such as Vertebrogenic Pain.

DDD occurs when the spinal discs wear down, causing reduced cushioning between vertebrae. This leads to inflammation, instability, and back pain. Common causes include aging, repetitive movements, and genetics.
