Degenerative disc disease often develops as a result of aging, wear and tear, or injury. It occurs when the discs in your spine lose hydration and elasticity, leading to reduced cushioning between the vertebrae. This can cause pain, stiffness, and even nerve–related symptoms as the discs deteriorate.
The good news is that you’re not alone. Degenerative disc disease is a common issue that many people face, we are equipped to help you manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life!✨
