Degenerative Disc Disease
Expert management and surgical solutions for degenerative disc disease to restore mobility and alleviate pain.
Book a ConsultationWhat is Degenerative Disc Disease?
Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is not actually a disease, but a condition in which a damaged or degraded spinal disc causes chronic pain. This degradation is often a natural part of aging but can be accelerated by injury or genetics.
As the rubbery discs between the vertebrae lose hydration and shrink, the spine loses its shock absorbers. This can lead to bone spurs, pinched nerves, and conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs.
Our focus is on restoring mobility and eliminating pain. We prioritize conservative management first, escalating to advanced minimally invasive spine surgeries (like artificial disc replacement or spinal fusion) only when necessary.
Symptoms to Watch For
Chronic Lower Back Pain
Pain Worse when Sitting
Numbness/Tingling
Reduced Flexibility
Pain Radiating to Legs
Muscle Weakness
Stiffness After Rest
Relief When Walking
Our Treatment Approach
Diagnostic Imaging
Thorough physical assessment and MRI to evaluate disc degradation.
Conservative Trial
Targeted physiotherapy, medication, and epidural injections.
Surgical Options
Minimally invasive disc repair, replacement, or spinal fusion.
Mobility Program
Post-treatment strengthening and flexibility protocol.
Recovery & Aftercare
Following treatment, whether conservative or surgical, we emphasize a gradual and medically supervised resumption of daily activities to protect the spine.
Customized physiotherapy strengthens the core and back muscles, reducing the mechanical load on the spinal discs and preventing future degeneration.
We provide long-term spine health guidance, including ergonomic training and lifestyle modifications, to ensure lasting pain relief and mobility.
