Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) is a condition where the spinal discs — the cushions between your vertebrae — gradually wear down due to aging, injury, or repetitive stress. This degeneration can lead to pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and sometimes nerve irritation if the discs lose their cushioning ability.
At Family Chiropractic of Clark and New York, Dr. Tricia Mastropietro specializes in managing degenerative disc disease by addressing the underlying spinal mechanics. Our approach focuses on relieving pain, improving joint function, and slowing disease progression through safe, non-invasive chiropractic care.
