What Are Degenerative Disc Disease and Degenerative Joint Disease?
- According to the Arthritis Foundation, approximately 27 million Americans suffer from osteoarthritis.
- The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke reports that DDD affects about 40% of people over the age of 40.
Despite these daunting numbers, it’s important to remember that a diagnosis of DDD or DJD is not a death sentence. There are effective ways to manage these conditions and maintain a high quality of life.
Staying Active: Regular physical activity is crucial for managing DDD and DJD. Exercise helps to:
- Maintain flexibility and range of motion.
- Strengthen the muscles that support the spine.
- Improve overall physical fitness and mental well-being.
Staying Hydrated:
- Keep the discs in the spine hydrated and flexible.
- Lubricate the joints, reducing friction and wear.
- Support overall bodily functions and cellular health.
The Role of Chiropractic Care in degenerative disc disease : Chiropractic care offers a non-invasive, drug-free approach to managing DDD and DJD. Chiropractors can:
- Perform spinal adjustments to improve alignment and relieve pressure on the nerves.
- Offer therapeutic exercises and stretches to enhance flexibility and strength.
- Provide lifestyle and ergonomic advice to prevent further degeneration and manage pain.
