Taking Control: Slow Down the Disc Degenerative Process

Taking Control of Your Health Slowing Down the Degenerative Process

Bottom Line:

The dreaded degenerative disc disease. Well, it may not be so dreaded after all. You may be surprised to learn that degenerative disc disease is a part of the normal aging process. As we age, our discs lose some of their water content and become less supple. This makes them appear darker on an MRI. And when they appear darker on an MRI, you guessed it; they are labeled as degenerative.

Why it Matters:

Just because all of us will experience degenerative disc disease as we age doesn’t mean that process is the same for everyone. Research has shown that by taking a pro-active approach with your spinal health, you may be able to slow down the degenerative process.

– Degenerative changes are part of the normal aging process due to the weight of gravity, injuries, and repetitive stress on your spine.

– Researchers have found a correlation between the amount of arthritis in the spine and the severity of degenerative changes.

– Stretching, exercising (regional motion) and chiropractic care (segmental motion) are thought to improve spinal biomechanics and may slow down the degenerative process.

Next Steps:

New research has shown that degenerative changes accelerate on joints that aren’t moving correctly. We encourage you to take control of your spinal health with exercise, stretching, and even periodic chiropractic care. By keeping your spine moving, you will have the best opportunity to slow down the aging process while feeling great every step of the way.
