Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common diagnosis that means the discs in your spine have lost height, hydration, and integrity over time. This process can generate chronic neck or low back pain, stiffness, and sometimes nerve compression—but it doesn’t have to sentence you to a lifetime of immobility or narcotics.
At NexGenEsis Healthcare, we focus on how your discs, joints, and muscles are actually functioning, not just what your MRI report says.
Regenerative Therapy for Degenerative Disc Disease at NexGenEsis Healthcare
Do you experience any of the following?
- Aching or sharp pain in the neck or low back that flares with sitting, bending, or twisting.
- Stiffness and limited flexibility, especially in the morning or after sitting.
- Pain that improves somewhat with gentle walking or changing position.
- Occasional radiating pain into the arm or leg.
- Episodes that come and go, becoming more frequent over the years.
Degenerative disc disease often coexists with facet joint arthritis, disc bulges, and spinal stenosis. NexGenEsis Healthcare uses regenerative medicine tools along with mechanical and lifestyle strategies to address the pain drivers and help you move more freely.
CONVENTIONAL Vs. REGENERATIVE MEDICINE FOR DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE RELIEF
Conventional care for DDD typically includes:
- Physical therapy.
- Anti-inflammatory medications.
- Pain medications or muscle relaxants.
- Repeated steroid injections.
- Spinal fusion or disc replacement when symptoms become severe.
These options may temporarily reduce pain but frequently do not address the long-term degenerative process or improve spinal mechanics. Fusion can permanently change how your spine moves and may shift stress to other levels.
Our non-surgical DDD strategy emphasizes:
- Regenerative injections (such as PRP, A2M, or bone marrow–derived biologics in suitable candidates) to support discs, facet joints, and stabilizing ligaments.
- Targeted stability work and movement retraining to reduce abnormal loading on worn segments.
- Coordination with lifestyle adjustments that can support spinal health over the long term.
- Outpatient, minimally invasive procedures when appropriate.
- Biology plus biomechanics: Supporting tissue health while improving how your spine carries load.
- Reduced reliance on chronic medications and repeat steroid injections.
- Aim for durable function: Helping you walk, work, and sleep with less pain and limitation
If you’ve been told “your back is just worn out” and your only options are more pills or a fusion, it’s time to get a second opinion. Call us today to schedule a consultation and get a clear, personalized plan to address your Degenerative Disc Disease.
