Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment in Oak Creek

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) occurs when the spinal discs lose their flexibility, height, and ability to absorb shock over time. This natural aging process can lead to chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. While DDD is common, it doesn’t mean you have to live in discomfort. The non-invasive treatments we offer can help manage symptoms and support spinal health.

Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease

Spinal discs act as cushions between the vertebrae, allowing for movement and absorbing impact. As these discs wear down, they become less effective at stabilizing the spine. This deterioration can lead to inflammation, nerve irritation, and pain that affects daily activities.

What Causes It?

Several factors contribute to degenerative disc disease, including:

Aging – Natural wear and tear over time
Repetitive stress – Poor posture and repeated strain
Injury – Trauma or sudden movements accelerating disc breakdown
Genetics – A family history of spinal conditions
Obesity – Increased pressure on the spinal discs

Common Symptoms

Symptoms vary but often include the following:

Chronic pain in the neck or lower back
Pain that worsens with movement or prolonged sitting
Stiffness and reduced flexibility
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the limbs
Muscle weakness due to nerve compression

A Multimodal Approach to Managing DDD

Since 1995, our practice has been committed to helping people find relief from degenerative disc disease. Our mission is simple: to improve as many lives as possible through safe, effective, and non-invasive care—without the need for drugs or surgery.

By combining multiple therapeutic approaches, we work to reduce pain, enhance mobility, and support lasting spinal health, empowering our patients to move and feel their best.

Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine, reducing stress on affected discs and improving mobility. Regular care can slow degeneration and enhance overall spinal function.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

Spinal decompression gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on compressed discs and promoting nutrient flow for healing. This therapy helps reduce pain and improve flexibility.

Laser Therapy

Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) stimulates tissue repair, reduces inflammation, and alleviates pain. It’s a non-invasive way to support the body’s natural healing process.

Postural Rehabilitation

Strengthening the muscles that support the spine and improving posture can prevent further disc degeneration. Targeted exercises and ergonomic adjustments play a key role in long-term spinal health.
