Degenerative Disc Disease

As we age, our bodies become less capable of cellular regeneration and repair. Our bones weaken, our skin stretches, and the connective tissue in and around our joints loses its elasticity and protective cushioning. With these changes, come the aches and pains, such as arthritis and back pain, associated with the aging process. One of the more common back pains emanates from a condition known as Degenerative Disc Disease. This condition comes from degenerative weakening, compression, or acute physical damage to the discs located between each vertebrae bone in our backs. Although the aging process can't be reversed, it is possible to offer some relief to this condition in the form of chiropractor care. Our doctors and staff at Ponte Vedra Wellness Center are well-versed in identifying and treating the symptoms and causes of DDD, as well as many other physical ailments. Serving patients from Jacksonville to Ponte Vedra Beach, as well as all points in between for over 15 years, our combined knowledge, technique, and technological innovations,  have consistently made us leaders in our industry, and we look forward to identifying how we can help you next.

In the case of Degenerative Disc Disease, back pain can often be alleviated through techniques which lessen the pressure on the discs themselves. In particular, spinal decompression therapy can offer patients much-needed relief and can help patients to manage their condition more readily. At Ponte Vedra Wellness, we use the Kennedy Decompression Technique and the KDT Neural Flex Table to manually release the sedentary pressure, pinching, and discomfort associated with Degenerative Disc Disease. Additionally, we offer our patients traditional chiropractor services, as well as personal fitness coaching to help patients become stronger and more flexible. Total wellness training ensures patients continue their healing and strengthening processes for the rest of their lives.
