Degenerative disc disease is VERY commonly seen in aged adults. This is a disease which is little weird because some patients might feel the pain as a result of disc slippage, interfering the nerves. Some may feel nothing at all until they start carrying heavy stuff.

Although this disease is a little uncommon among the youngsters, there is also a certain percentage of youngster getting degenerative disc disease. In such cases, trauma, such as a simple lifting accident, is the most common cause of disc degeneration.

After trauma, the discs in the spine damaged, tear or dehydrate and lose their ability to act as shock absorbers between the vertebrae. Due to the fact that there is minimal blood supply to the discs in your spine, these discs which are damaged usually could not heal themselves naturally.

No of course.

Surgery is only recommended when the conservative treatment options such as physical therapy do not provide relief or show any improvement within two to three months.

Often, it was found that degenerative disc disease can be successfully treated WITHOUT surgery. One or a combination of treatments such as physical therapy exercise, chiropractic manipulative therapy (CMT), osteopathic manipulation, anti-inflammatory medications such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, chiropractic treatments, traction, or spinal injections often provide adequate relief of these troubling symptoms.
