Degenerative Disc Disease

Most vertebrae are separated by flexible discs of cartilage that act like shock absorbers and allow your spine to move. With age, your disks can lose their height and ability to cushion. This process is called disc degeneration.

Our physiotherapists at Prestige Healthcare can help you diagnose this condition and refer you on for further treatment within the NHS if required, as well as help with initial pain relief.

Treatments for degenerative disc disease include:

• Medication
• Physical Therapy
• Artificial disc replacement
• Spinal fusion
• Epidural injections
• Epidural steroid blocks
• Selective nerve root blocks/transforaminal epidural steroid blocks
