With our holistic approach, we are dedicated to delivering optimal care and support for individuals dealing with degenerative disc disease.
Understanding Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD)
Degenerative disc disease is a prevalent condition of the spine marked by the gradual deterioration of intervertebral discs. These discs act as rubbery cushions between the vertebrae, providing flexibility and shock absorption.
As they degenerate, they may lose water content, become thinner, and develop cracks or tears, causing symptoms such as spinal pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
This condition commonly contributes to back and neck pain, particularly among older adults.
Symptoms of Degenerative Disc Disease
- Localised pain in the affected spinal area, like the neck and lower back.
- Pain that radiates to other areas such as the buttocks, thighs, or arms.
- Dull, achy, or sharp, that may worsen with certain movements or activities.
- Stiffness and reduced flexibility in the spine.
- Numbness, tingling or muscle weakness.
- Pain that worsens while sitting and improves with walking and movement.
- Pain that comes and goes, sometimes lasting for weeks or months at a time.
Degenerative Disc Disease Therapies and Treatment
The disc degeneration treatment in Dubai at King’s Spine Centre is tailored to each patient’s specific condition and symptoms.
Non-Surgical Disc Degeneration Treatment:
- Physical Therapy: Engaging in targeted exercises and stretches can improve spine flexibility, strengthen supporting muscles, and alleviate pain.
- Pain Management: Medications such as NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, or epidural steroid injections to reduce inflammation and manage pain.
- Hot and Cold Therapy: Applying ice packs and heating pads alternately three to four times daily may reduce soreness and inflammation.
- Lifestyle Modifications: Guidance on ergonomic improvements, weight management, and activity modifications to relieve pressure on the spine.
- Steroid Injections: Administering medicine near your spinal nerves, disks, or joints can help reduce temporary inflammation and pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease Surgery:
- Spinal Fusion: This surgical procedure involves joining two or more vertebrae using bone grafts, screws, and rods to stabilise the spine. By eliminating motion between the fused vertebrae, it helps reduce pain caused by degenerated discs or spinal instability.
- Decompression Surgery: This surgical procedure involves removing parts of the vertebrae or discs to alleviate pressure on spinal nerves or the spinal cord, relieving symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness caused by conditions like spinal stenosis or herniated discs.
