About This Condition
Degenerative disc disease is a common condition in which the intervertebral discs gradually lose hydration and height, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. While the name sounds alarming, it is a natural part of aging that can be effectively managed with the right care. At Optimal Movement, we focus on slowing progression and improving daily function. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper spinal mechanics and maintain disc spacing. SoftWave therapy promotes circulation to the disc area, supporting nutrient delivery and tissue health. Therapeutic massage addresses the muscle tension and guarding that often develop around affected segments. We also guide patients through targeted exercises to strengthen supporting structures and maintain flexibility throughout the spine.
