Degenerative Disc Disease is not really a disease but a term used to describe the normal changes in your spinal discs as you age. Spinal discs are soft, compressible discs that separate the interlocking bones (vertebrae) that make up the spine. The discs act as shock absorbers for the spine, allowing it to flex, bend, and twist. Degenerative disc disease can take place throughout the spine, but it most often occurs in the discs in the lower back (lumbar region) and the neck (cervical region).

Cervical disc degeneration is a common cause of neck pain, most frequently felt as a stiff neck. Cervical degenerative disc disease is much less common than disc degeneration in the lumbar spine because the neck generally is subjected to far less torque and force. Nonetheless, a fall or a twisting injury to the disc space can spur degeneration, and accumulated wear and tear on the disc over time can also lead to neck pain caused by disc degeneration. Learn More

Many healthcare professionals have found that neck, back, lower back and sciatic pain from Degenerative Disc Disease can be eliminated, the degenerated disc structures can be restored. With their innovative treatment approaches, the neck and back pain and other symptoms can be eliminated and the normal disc structure can be
restored in 2 weeks to 3 months period.
