Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is the natural breakdown of an intervertebral disc of the spine with aging. The disease can take place throughout the entire length of the spine but commonly occurs in your lower back (lumbar spine) or neck (cervical spine). DDD is not always symptomatic but can cause acute or chronic low back or neck pain in elderly adults as well as nerve pain depending on the location of the affected disc.
Medication, limiting strenuous activities, physical therapy and exercises for strengthening and stretching the back can help in treating degenerative disc disease. You can apply hot compression with gel packs, heating pads or infrared massagers to the affected area for pain relief. Spinal manipulation can relieve low back pain by taking pressure off sensitive nerves. Lumbar and sacral supports, belts, and braces allow you to perform daily activity. Adjustable back rest, buckwheat hull cushion provide relief and comfort when during your rest. Stretching the hamstring muscles (muscles down the back of the thigh) with assistive exercise aids like Oppo progressive resistance band can decrease stress on your back.
