Degenerative Disc Disease

What Happens If You Ignore Degenerative Disc Disease?

November 25, 20242 min read

Do you ever wonder, “What happens if I don’t treat my Degenerative Disc Disease?”

It’s a common question for many suffering from this condition, and the truth is, that leaving Degenerative Disc Disease untreated can lead to a range of worsening symptoms that may limit your quality of life.

Degenerative Disc Disease can cause the discs in your spine to gradually lose their flexibility and strength when left unmanaged. 


This deterioration can lead to:


#1 - Chronic Back or Neck Pain 

As your discs lose their ability to cushion the vertebrae, the result is often persistent pain that can interfere with your daily activities, sleep, and mood.

Our Chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists in Dayton, Ohio have an arsenal of natural healing techniques to help you rid back and neck pain.


#2 - Increased Risk of Herniated Discs 

Without proper care, a weakened disc may eventually bulge or herniate, putting pressure on nearby nerves. 

This can lead to numbness, tingling, and even shooting pain down your arms or legs, making it difficult to perform simple tasks.

This can be helped with gentle Chiropractic adjustments.

#3 - Reduced Mobility

Stiffness and pain can severely limit your ability to move freely, making activities like bending, twisting, or even sitting comfortably increasingly difficult over time. 


#4 - Spinal Instability  

Degeneration can also lead to instability in the spine, potentially affecting your posture and balance, which can create additional strain on your back and muscles.

#5 - Nerve Damage

Prolonged disc degeneration may lead to nerve compression, resulting in weakness or a loss of function in certain areas. This can escalate over time if left untreated, impacting your ability to engage in activities you love.


The key is to address Degenerative Disc Disease before it progresses to these more severe stages. With our Chiropractic care in Dayton, Ohio you can stop the progression and start living again (without pain). Taking action now could help prevent years of pain and limited function down the road.
