Degenerative Disc Disease & Its Symptoms
Degenerative Disc Disease refers to a condition that involves a weakened or damaged disc. When the compromised disc is located in the spine, it is common to feel pain or pressure in the lower back.
Pain occurs because the spinal discs that are supposed to act as shock absorbers have been worn down. This causes your vertebrae to rub against each other causing immense discomfort. The continuous wearing down of these discs can lead to neck or back pain, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, or herniated discs.
If you experience any of the following symptoms, contact us immediately:
- Activities such as bending or twisting increases your pain
- Changing positions alleviates your back pain
- Intense pain while sitting or standing
- Pain that comes in waves
