Degenerative Disc Disease Relief in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Find Relief from Back Pain

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD), a common cause of back pain, is a natural part of aging that affects the intervertebral discs in your spine. These discs act as cushions between your vertebrae, and as they wear down, they can cause pain, stiffness, and other uncomfortable symptoms. If you’re struggling with back pain and suspect DDD, Tulsa Pain Consultants offers expert diagnosis and effective treatment options to help you regain your quality of life.

Recognize the Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease

DDD can manifest in various ways, and recognizing the signs early on is key to managing the condition effectively:

• Chronic Back Pain: This is the most common symptom, typically felt in the lower back or neck. The pain may be dull, aching, or sharp and often worsens with movement.
• Pain Flare-Ups: You may experience episodes of intense pain that can be debilitating and interfere with daily activities.
• Stiffness: A common symptom is reduced flexibility in your spine, making it difficult to bend or twist.
• Numbness and Tingling: These sensations may occur in your arms or legs if the degenerated disc is pressing on nerves.
• Weakness: You may experience muscle weakness in your legs or arms, affecting your balance and mobility.
• Pain with Movement: Activities that involve lifting, bending, or twisting can exacerbate the pain associated with DDD.

Understanding the Causes of Degenerative Disc Disease

Several factors can contribute to the development of DDD:

• Aging: The natural aging process is the most common cause, as discs lose moisture and flexibility over time.
• Genetics: A family history of back problems may increase your risk of developing DDD.
• Injury or Trauma: Past injuries or trauma to the spine can accelerate disc degeneration.
• Repetitive Strain: Certain jobs or activities that involve repetitive stress on the spine can wear down the discs.
• Obesity: Excess weight puts additional strain on the spinal discs, hastening degeneration.
• Smoking: Smoking can decrease blood flow to the discs, hindering their ability to heal and regenerate.
