Specialized Chiropractic Care for Degenerative Disc Disease

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a condition that can cause persistent back pain, reduced mobility, and discomfort that affects daily activities. At Snyder Chiropractic, Dr. Justin Snyder provides targeted chiropractic care in Tulsa, OK, to help manage the symptoms of degenerative disc disease. By focusing on spinal alignment and disc support, Dr. Snyder’s chiropractic approach aims to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance quality of life for those affected by DDD.

What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?

Degenerative disc disease occurs when the discs between the vertebrae in the spine begin to deteriorate, often due to age-related wear and tear. As the discs lose their cushioning and elasticity, individuals may experience pain, stiffness, and reduced range of motion. Common symptoms of degenerative disc disease include:

Back Pain:

DDD commonly causes chronic lower back pain and discomfort.

Neck Pain:

When DDD affects the cervical spine, it can lead to persistent neck pain.

Numbness or Tingling:

Nerve compression can lead to numbness or tingling in the arms or legs.

Benefits of Chiropractic Care for Degenerative Disc Disease

Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive treatment option for managing degenerative disc disease. By focusing on spinal alignment, chiropractic adjustments help relieve pressure on affected discs and surrounding nerves, offering multiple benefits:

  • Pain Relief: Proper spinal alignment reduces tension and pressure on the discs, helping alleviate back and neck pain.
  • Improved Mobility: Chiropractic care can enhance flexibility and restore range of motion, allowing you to move more comfortably.
  • Support for Nerve Health: Adjustments relieve nerve compression, reducing symptoms like numbness and tingling.
