Degenerative Disc/Joint Disease
Degenerative disc/joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis, is a condition characterized by the gradual breakdown of the intervertebral discs or joints in the spine. Over time, the discs lose their cushioning ability, and the joint surfaces may deteriorate, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Degenerative disc/joint disease is often a natural part of aging, but it can also be accelerated by factors such as repetitive stress, injury, or genetic predisposition. The condition can cause localized discomfort, as well as radiating pain or numbness if nerve compression occurs. Treatment options may include pain management techniques, physical therapy, medication, lifestyle modifications, and in severe cases, surgical intervention. The goal is to manage symptoms, improve function, and enhance quality of life.
