Degenerative Disc Disease Help is Here QUESTION: Telma, I have been told that I have degenerative disc disease in my neck. My symptoms are, my neck is very stiff and sore. I cannot turn it very well, especially when I am going to back my car out. I have been told that physiotherapy can help, but I do not see why I should bother because I have been told that the problem is because of degenerative disc disease. How are you going to change that? If I had a dollar for every time I am asked this question...you question...you know the rest. In short, physiotherapy can help and it will provide relief from this painful and debilitating condition. But before I tell you how, let's talk a little bit about what, exactly, exactly, degenerative disc disease is and how it affects the sufferer. Degenerative disc disease means that there is a narrowing of the disc space between the vertebrae of a person's spine. A disc is a jelly-like material that serves as the cushion between the bones of the spine. When this cushion or buffer is worn down, the medical diagnosis is degenerative disc disease. Other complicating conditions conditions may follow. For example, the liping ot the joint. A bony formation formation will occur around the disc space to compensate for the narrowing that is inevitable with degenerative disc disease. In many cases, arthritis will surface in the joints on either side of the disc. Unfortunately, there is more to the neck pain you suffer than just the narrowing of the disc space. One of the key considerations considerations is the posture of the neck. All patients that I have ever seen with complaints of neck pain, have one of two postures: rounded shoulders or a forward poking head. These result in neck spasm - the actual source of the pain. The neck muscles are tight and the head is sitting on the neck in the wrong position, position, thus the neck does not have the range it needs to make a simple turn of the head. Physiotherapy cannot reverse degenerative disc disease; disease; that is not what it was designed to do. What physiotherapy physiotherapy will do is correct your posture and release your neck muscle spasm, then we'll teach you how to realign your body for better posture. The result? Less pain and more range-of-motion. At my clinic we take a whole body approach, explaining to patients all the possible pieces to the puzzle of why they are feeling pain. We get to the source of the problem rather than simply treating the pain. This is definitely achievable even if you have degenerative disc disease.
