Degenerative Disc Disease Doctors in San Diego, CA

 

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition where the intervertebral discs of the spine deteriorate or break down, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness. This degeneration can result from aging, repetitive stress, injury, or poor posture.

 

Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease

DDD is a condition where the intervertebral discs of the spine deteriorate or break down, leading to pain, weakness, or numbness. This degeneration can result from aging, repetitive stress, injury, or poor posture.

 

Self-Care Strategies for Managing DDD

Before considering clinical interventions, several self-care approaches can help manage DDD symptoms:

• Regular Exercise: Engaging in low-impact activities like swimming, walking, or yoga can strengthen the muscles supporting the spine.
• Proper Posture: Maintaining good posture reduces unnecessary strain on spinal discs.
• Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy weight minimizes pressure on the spine.
• Avoiding Tobacco: Smoking can decrease blood flow to spinal discs, accelerating degeneration.

 

While these strategies can alleviate symptoms, they may not halt the progression of DDD, making professional intervention beneficial for long-term relief.

 

Why Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) Works

At our center, we utilize Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression (NSSD) therapy, a non-invasive treatment designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs and promote healing. NSSD works by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure within the disc, which can:

• Retract herniated or bulging disc material
• Promote the influx of healing nutrients
• Alleviate nerve compression

This therapy is particularly effective for conditions like:

• Herniated or bulging discs
• Degenerative disc disease
• Sciatica
• Spinal stenosis
• Chronic neck and back pain

Our approach combines NSSD with active therapies to correct muscle imbalances, improve posture, and enhance spinal stability, ensuring long-term relief and functional improvement.
