Do you wake up with stiffness or pain in your back or neck? Does it get worse after sitting for long periods, or when you try to lift something heavy?
You might have been told your pain is due to degenerative disc disease (DDD), a common condition that can contribute to chronic pain, stiffness, and limited mobility.
At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we offer effective, non-surgical solutions to help you feel better and move better, so you can get back to living the life you love.
Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the discs in your spine—the cushions between your vertebrae—begin to compress wear down with age. This can lead to:
It’s important to note that asymptomatic disc degeneration is very common as we age. If you have signs of “aging” on the outside of your body, they likely exist inside too!
Maintaining strength and mobility plays a crucial role in managing disc degeneration. By keeping the muscles around your spine strong and your joints moving well, you can reduce the strain on your discs and prevent pain from becoming a regular part of your life.
Improving your mobility and strength through targeted exercises can:
Our focus is to empower you with the tools and knowledge to manage your condition long-term, rather than relying solely on passive treatments.
Chiropractic care is a safe and effective option for managing DDD. It helps improve spinal mobility and range of motion, reduce pain, and improve overall function without the need for surgery or medications. Studies have shown that chiropractic care can significantly improve outcomes for patients with spine-related issues like DDD.
Our approach emphasizes active care and proactive collaboration with our patients. We don’t just treat your symptoms—we empower you to take control of your health through movement, strength training, and lifestyle modifications.
You don’t have to live with chronic pain or stiffness. At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we’re here to help you find relief through personalized, conservative treatment options designed to meet your needs. Schedule a consultation today and let us guide you on the path to better spinal health.
Move better. Heal better. Feel better.
While degenerative disc disease is often found on imaging in people with neck or back pain, it’s essential to understand that disc degeneration itself isn’t always the cause of pain. Many individuals with significant disc degeneration on MRIs or X-rays have no symptoms at all. Conversely, people with neck or back pain often have minimal or no disc degeneration.
Pain is influenced by multiple factors, including
When it comes to managing degenerative discs, surgery is often not the first or best option. Many people find relief through conservative treatment strategies focusing on reducing pain, improving mobility, and strengthening the muscles around the spine.
At Frederick Chiropractic Wellness Center, we take a holistic approach to care. Our conservative treatments include:
Chiropractic care focuses on restoring proper joint function, which can alleviate pressure on the spinal discs and surrounding nerves. By gently adjusting dysfunctional joints, chiropractic care helps improve mobility, reduce inflammation, and decrease pain naturally.
Strengthening the muscles around your spine can provide better support and reduce the strain on your discs. Our rehabilitation exercises focus on improving mobility, flexibility, and strength to help you manage symptoms and stay active.
This cutting-edge therapy uses low-level electrical currents to stimulate healing at the cellular level. Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) is designed to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and relieve pain associated with DDD. By promoting tissue repair and reducing discomfort, FSM helps you get back to your daily activities faster.
We offer laser therapy as a powerful tool to promote tissue healing and reduce inflammation. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) works by delivering concentrated red and near-infrared light to the affected area, which penetrates deep into tissues to stimulate cellular repair and reduce oxidative stress. This therapy enhances circulation, decreases swelling, and promotes faster recovery, making it an excellent option for managing pain and inflammation associated with DDD.
Laser therapy is non-invasive and painless, with no downtime, making it a convenient and effective option for supporting long-term spinal health.
Our vibration plate therapy improves muscle activation, enhances mobility, and strengthens bones. This innovative therapy can help you regain balance and movement in a safe and controlled manner.
Supporting your body with the right nutrients can help manage DDD. We offer nutritional guidance that focuses on anti-inflammatory diets, hydration, and supplements like magnesium, vitamin D, and collagen that promote disc health.
