Chiropractor & Physical Therapist for Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment in Carrollton, TX
What is Degenerative disc disease (DDD)?
Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a condition that refers to the gradual breakdown or degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the spine. Despite its name, DDD is not always considered a disease in the traditional sense; rather, it is often a part of the normal aging process. The intervertebral discs act as cushions or shock absorbers between the vertebrae, providing flexibility and support to the spine. The discs tend to degenerate by way of aging, repetitive stress, genetics or trauma.
What are common symptoms of a Degenerative Disc Disease?
Usually DDD results in pain, stiffness, loss of range of motion and mobility, reduced flexibility and sometimes radiation of pain into the arms or legs.
How Can a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist Help with Degenerative Disc Disease?
Chiropractic care and physical therapy are sometimes considered as a complementary or alternative approaches to managing symptoms associated with degenerative disc disease (DDD). Chiropractors may use a variety of techniques aimed at improving spinal alignment, reducing pain, and enhancing overall mobility.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of chiropractic care for DDD is a topic of ongoing debate within the medical community, and individual experiences with this form of treatment can vary. Treatment typically includes spinal manipulation, soft tissue techniques, postural restoration, and rehabilitation exercises guided by a physical therapist.
