Degenerative Disc Care in Santa Rosa Beach

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition where the spinal discs wear down over time, leading to chronic back pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. As the discs lose hydration and cushioning, they become less effective at absorbing shock, potentially causing nerve compression and inflammation.

✔ Persistent back or neck pain that worsens with activity

✔ Reduced flexibility & stiffness making daily movements difficult

✔ Nerve irritation & inflammation leading to tingling or numbness

✔ Increased risk of herniation or spinal instability
