Degenerative Disc disease

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) may sound scary, but it is part of the natural aging process, like getting gray hair, and in many cases is not as painful as it sounds. The good news is that in most cases, most of us will recover without the need for costly imaging, injections, or surgery. Non-invasive treatments such as physical therapy provide similar results to those obtained from surgery. 

We use Mechanical Diagnosis and Treatment approach. It is also known as MDT or the McKenzie Method, which is an evidence-based assessment process that can be used to treat all musculoskeletal conditions. After a comprehensive evaluation, we teach you various exercises to improve your flexibility, strength, core stability, and range of motion (how easily your joints move). Your physical therapy program is individualized, taking into consideration your health and history. 

Other passive physical therapy treatments may include:

• Soft tissue mobilization
• Dry needling
• Frequency Specific Microcurrent
