Are You Ready to Get Rid of the Pain and Stiffness?

As most people age they will have some level of degeneration.  However, even people in their late 20′s and early 30′s can be suffering from a drying disc disorder from everyday stress and minor injury.  This may be the source of nagging pain or not cause any painful suffering until its too late to be reversed.  Which ever, age is not the major factor in degenerative disc disease as most may think.  It is extremely common for only one or two vertebrae to be degenerating while the others are perfectly healthy.  Therefore if you hear your MD say it is just normal aging, be very concerned as there is NO SUCH THING!  What we do know is that back pain comes from stress, daily activities, sports injuries, accidents, heavy repetitive physical work and the #1 cause …… OBESITY.

Some symptoms you might recognize are:

• Pain that gets worse when bending, twisting or lifting
• Pain that gets worse when sitting
• You actually feel better when walking as opposed to long periods of standing or sitting
• The pain can be in the buttocks, low back, thighs or neck
• You can feel numbness and tingling especially in the extremities

The Bellevue Pain Institute has had great success treating Degenerative Disc Disease with Spinal Decompression and Laser Therapy.
