As you age, it is normal for the quality of tissues to deteriorate. In everyone, the skin ages and muscle mass decreases. By eating well, exercising and visiting specialists such as chiropractors regularly. Can you fortunately slow down this process considerably.
Where slow change is normal, there are also conditions where deterioration is more rapid. An example is Degenerative Disk Disease (DDD), or degeneration of the intervertebral discs.
When the intervertebral discs deteriorate faster than normal, you are more likely to suffer from conditions such as arthritis, herniated discs or spinal stenosis.
We would like to tell you more about how we want to help you reduce or prevent these symptoms.
We already mentioned that tissue ages even in healthy individuals. This is a natural process we all go through. In disc degeneration, this deterioration in the intervertebral discs is faster than usual*.
In disc degeneration, first of all, the elasticity of the soft core of the discs decreases. The amount of water in the inside of the disc decreases, making the core stiffer and more fibrous. This affects the absorptive capacity of the intervertebral discs, which decreases as a result.
When pressure and tension is put on the disc, it can then rupture. Eventually, this can cause the intervertebral disc to weaken and decrease in size. This causes the vertebrae to move closer together.
This can cause structures such as nerves to become compressed, causing symptoms.
How do you know that your symptoms are caused by degeneration of the intervertebral discs? The symptoms you have may be a first indication.
With this condition, you often have lower back pain, usually at a relatively young age (before age 40). The pain usually gets worse after physical activity or just after sitting in the same position for a while. In many cases, there is also stiffness. The symptoms usually last only a few days and then disappear for a while. But they do come back after some time.
As the quality of the intervertebral discs declines, the vertebrae can also lose their balance, causing subluxations that can cause various symptoms.
To be certain about what is causing the symptoms, an examination with possibly a chiropractic scan is needed. The moment we diagnose degeneration of the intervertebral discs, we can give you targeted care.
We cannot ensure that the tissue will recover just like that. Fortunately, there are some other important things we can do. This may not only reduce symptoms but also slow/stop tissue deterioration.
We do this by using a holistic approach. We are going to make sure that there are no intoxications or systemic problems that will improve your whole health. We also provide manipulations to restore the balance of your vertebrae. This eliminates subluxations and allows nerves to do their work undisturbed.
By focusing on healthy posture, proper movement and adequate muscle support of the back, we can greatly reduce the pressure on the vertebrae. This helps preserve the quality of the intervertebral discs.
This combination of techniques, greatly reduces symptoms. In addition, this causes the degeneration of the intervertebral discs to slow down or even stop altogether.
