As we age, it’s natural for spinal discs to wear down—but for many people, this degeneration can become painful and limit daily activities. If you’re experiencing chronic back pain, stiffness, or radiating discomfort, you may be dealing with degenerative disc disease. At Redlands Chiropractic, we specialize in non-surgical, drug-free treatments to relieve symptoms and improve spinal function.
What Is Degenerative Disc Disease?
Degenerative disc disease is a condition where the intervertebral discs lose flexibility,
hydration, and height. This can cause instability, nerve irritation, and chronic pain. Despite its
name, it’s not technically a disease, but a progressive condition often associated with aging or
injury.
Common Causes
● Natural aging process
● Repetitive movements or spinal stress
● Poor posture and prolonged sitting
● Previous injuries or auto accidents
● Herniated or bulging discs
Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease
● Persistent lower back or neck pain
● Pain that worsens with bending, lifting, or twisting
● Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
● Intermittent or radiating pain into hips, buttocks, or thighs
● Muscle spasms and limited flexibility
Chiropractic Solutions for Disc Degeneration
Chiropractic care can’t reverse disc degeneration, but it can dramatically reduce symptoms,
improve alignment, and enhance quality of life. Our holistic approach includes:
✔ Gentle Spinal Adjustments
Chiropractic adjustments help reduce stress on the spinal column, restore mobility, and
relieve nerve pressure.
✔ Soft Tissue Therapy
We treat surrounding muscles and ligaments to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and support
spinal stability.
✔ Posture & Lifestyle Coaching
Poor posture, ergonomic strain, and slouching can worsen degeneration. We offer guidance
for healthy habits and movement.
✔ X-Ray Imaging & Monitoring
X-rays help us track spinal changes and tailor a care plan that addresses both structural and
functional concerns.

● Back injury attorneys
