Spinal degeneration typically begins in our 30’s.

Spinal degeneration, commonly known as degenerative disc disease (DDD), often begins as early as our 30s. While aging is a natural contributor, lifestyle factors such as repetitive stress, injuries, and genetic predispositions can accelerate this process.

Early signs include loss of disc height, facet joint deterioration, and ligament thickening, potentially leading to chronic back or neck pain and reduced mobility.

Recognizing Early Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease

In the initial stages, DDD may present subtle symptoms that can be mistaken for general discomfort. Common indicators include:

• Persistent back or neck pain: Often exacerbated by sitting, bending, or lifting.

• Reduced flexibility: Stiffness in the spine, making movement challenging.

• Numbness or tingling: Sensation radiating to the limbs, indicating nerve involvement.

It's crucial to consult a healthcare professional if these symptoms persist, as early intervention can prevent further degeneration.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression: A Viable Treatment Option

For those seeking alternatives to surgery, non-surgical spinal decompression therapy offers a promising solution. This FDA-cleared treatment involves gently stretching the spine to alleviate pressure on the discs and nerves. Benefits include:

• Pain relief: Reducing pressure can alleviate chronic pain.

• Improved mobility: Restoring disc height enhances flexibility.

• Enhanced healing: Increased blood flow promotes nutrient delivery to affected areas.

Studies have shown that patients undergoing spinal decompression therapy experience significant improvements in pain and function.
