Degenerative Disc Disease is a natural body process that occurs in all individuals with age. However, symptoms are not always consistent, and there are different levels of severity of the degenerative changes based on overall health, repetitive activities, types of work surfaces, and trauma experienced throughout our lifetime.
A person can experience achy stiffness or pain in the lower back or neck. This pain can be one-sided, central, or spread across both sides, like at the back from hip to hip. Occasionally, a person may experience numbness, weakness, or pain traveling down one or both legs/arms.
We cannot fight all the effects of aging on the spine; however, we can change some things in our lifestyles that minimize the impact DDD can have on our lives. To learn more about Degenerative Disc Disease, contact a clinic near you. https://bit.ly/3nSQsbI
