Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

Degenerative disc disease refers to age-related changes in the spinal discs that can lead to chronic back or neck pain. Dr. Sanjay Rawat offers comprehensive degenerative disc disease treatment in Indore, focused on pain relief and preserving spinal function.

About Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

Despite its name, degenerative disc disease is not truly a disease but a natural process in which the spinal discs lose hydration and height over time, reducing their ability to cushion the vertebrae. This can lead to increased stress on surrounding structures, causing pain, stiffness, and, in some cases, nerve irritation. While disc degeneration is a normal part of aging, the severity of associated symptoms varies significantly from person to person.

Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

• Chronic low back or neck pain
• Pain that worsens with sitting, bending, or lifting
• Periods of symptom flare-up followed by improvement
• Stiffness, especially after inactivity
• Occasional radiating pain if nerves are affected

Causes of Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment

• Natural age-related loss of disc hydration
• Repetitive stress from physical activity or occupation
• Previous spinal injury
• Smoking, which impairs disc nutrition
• Genetic predisposition to early disc degeneration

Diagnosis

• Clinical examination and detailed symptom history
• MRI to assess disc height and hydration loss
• X-ray to evaluate spinal alignment
• Discography in select, complex cases

Treatment Options

• Physiotherapy and core-strengthening exercises
• Anti-inflammatory medication for pain flare-ups
• Activity modification and ergonomic adjustments
• Targeted spinal injections for persistent pain
• Surgical options for severe, unresponsive cases
