Pain from a degenerative disc typically stems from inflammation or micromotion instability (when a disc is not as effective in resisting motion in the spine). Here are several common signs of degenerative disc disease.
• Pain that flares up during activities, especially bending, lifting, and twisting
• Severe episodes of back or neck pain that generally last from a few days to a few months
• Chronic debilitating pain (relatively rare)
• Pain that worsens depending on your position (sitting vs standing)
If you’ve been diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease or are experiencing any of these symptoms, please schedule a consultation to discuss the best course of treatment to fit your specific needs.
