How Our Treatment Approach Can Benefit You

Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) Treatment

Chiropractic Adjustments for Spinal Health

• Our chiropractors perform gentle spinal adjustments to correct misalignments, relieve pressure on affected discs, and enhance spinal mobility.
• Proper alignment reduces strain on degenerating discs, potentially alleviating pain and stiffness.

Spinal Decompression Therapy

• A non-invasive spinal decompression technique is used to gently stretch the spine, creating space between vertebrae.
• This process helps reduce pressure on degenerating discs and may enhance the natural healing process.

Cold Laser Therapy for Disc & Nerve Pain

• Cold Laser Therapy uses low-level laser light to stimulate tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain.
• This therapy enhances cellular regeneration, helping to improve disc health and function over time.

Core Strengthening & Stability Exercises

• A personalized exercise program is designed to strengthen core muscles, providing better support for the spine.
• Improved core stability can reduce strain on weakened discs and help prevent further degeneration.

Nutritional Guidance for Spinal Health

• Diet plays a critical role in reducing inflammation and supporting disc integrity.
• We provide nutritional recommendations to promote joint and spinal health, potentially slowing the progression of degenerative disc disease.

Degenerative Joint Disease (Osteoarthritis) Treatment

Chiropractic Adjustments for Joint Function

• Gentle, targeted adjustments can improve joint mobility and alignment, helping to relieve pressure and inflammation in arthritic joints.
• Proper alignment may also slow the progression of joint degeneration.

Cold Laser Therapy for Joint Inflammation

• K-Laser Therapy reduces inflammation, promotes tissue repair, and enhances circulation around affected joints.
• Many patients experience significant pain relief and improved range of motion with this advanced therapy.

Joint Mobilization & Soft Tissue Therapy

• Manual joint mobilization techniques help restore movement and reduce stiffness in affected joints.
• Soft tissue therapies, such as massage and myofascial release, reduce muscle tension and enhance overall joint function.

Customized Exercise Plans for Joint Strength

• Strengthening and mobility exercises focus on improving joint stability and function.
• These exercises are designed to reduce stress on affected joints and improve daily movement.

Patient Education & Self-Care Strategies

• We educate patients on ergonomics, joint protection techniques, and lifestyle modifications to manage degenerative conditions effectively.
• Self-care strategies empower individuals to take an active role in their long-term joint health.

Collaborative Healthcare Approach

• If necessary, we coordinate care with orthopedic specialists, rheumatologists, or physical therapists for a well-rounded treatment plan.
