Discover More About Your Condition
This condition isn’t actually a disease but instead describes the natural changes that occur in your spine as you age. Your spinal discs have a tough, rubbery exterior with a soft interior, sitting between vertebrae to act as shock absorbers. As we age, these discs naturally begin to lose fluid, becoming smaller and less flexible, allowing tears to develop in the outer layer.
While aging is the primary factor, other elements may accelerate degeneration, including obesity, smoking, repetitive physical work, and previous injuries. This process can lead to herniated discs, bulging discs, spinal stenosis, and osteoarthritis.
Recognizing the Signs and Symptoms
Degenerative disc disease affects each patient differently; some people may experience no symptoms. When they do occur, pain typically appears at the site of the affected disc in your back or neck. Because compressed nerves often cause this pain, you might also feel discomfort in your buttocks, arms, or legs, along with numbness and tingling in your extremities.
Our Proven Treatment Approach
The good news is that degeneration doesn’t mean you’re destined for surgery. Dr. Bailey combines spinal decompression with targeted chiropractic adjustments to address both the structural and functional aspects of your condition. This modality works by gently stretching the spine to create negative pressure within the discs, promoting healing and reducing pressure on surrounding nerves. Sessions typically last 20 minutes using a comfortable pull-and-relax technique.
We have patients from 2016 who continue with maintenance care and never needed their recommended surgery, demonstrating that you can manage this condition effectively and maintain an active lifestyle with proper care.
