Normal wear and tear in our muscles, joints, and bones can cause pain as we age. As your spinal discs age, this wear and tear mean they do not function as well as they should, failing to serve their purpose as shock absorbers between the bones in your spine. If you struggle with a degenerative disc, we can help. At Global Clinic, we offer a range of therapeutic services to help you live a comfortable, pain-free life.
What Causes a Degenerative Disc?
Sharp or constant pain in your back and neck is one telltale sign of disc degeneration. Other symptoms include pain in the lower back, buttocks, and upper thigh; increased pain upon sitting, bending, or twisting; and lessening pain when moving or lying down.

We partner with you to create a personalized degenerative disc disease treatment regimen built with your well-being in mind. Care plans may include, but are not limited to:
- Manual adjustments
- Physical therapy

- Pain management with traditional or alternative medicines
