While degenerative disc disease is a common condition associated with aging, it’s important not to ignore its symptoms. If left untreated, degenerative disc disease can lead to a range of complications and risks, including:

• Chronic pain and discomfort

• Reduced mobility and flexibility

• Loss of bladder or bowel control in severe cases

• Nerve damage or compression

• Increased risk of falls and fractures

Fortunately, there are various treatment options available for degenerative disc disease, including physical therapy, medication, surgery, and class IV laser therapy.

By seeking treatment early and working with a healthcare professional to manage your symptoms, you can reduce your risk of developing complications and improve your quality of life.

If you suspect that you may be experiencing symptoms of degenerative disc disease, it’s important to consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
