Disc Degeneration Treatment in Austin, TX
The discs in your spine act like cushions between the vertebrae, allowing movement and absorbing shock. Over time, these discs can wear down, leading to stiffness, pain, and reduced mobility. This condition is often called degenerative disc disease or simply disc degeneration.
Disc degeneration can develop slowly with age, but injuries, poor posture, repetitive stress, or long-term strain on the spine can make it worse. For many people, it shows up as persistent back or neck pain, stiffness, or discomfort that makes everyday life harder.
At Back ’n Place Chiropractic in Austin, Dr. Nick Fourie provides care to help manage pain from disc degeneration, improve mobility, and support your spine for healthier function.
