Degenerative Disc Disease Treatment in London, KY

Degenerative disc disease (DDD) is a common cause of chronic back and neck pain, affecting countless individuals in London, KY, and beyond. While the name suggests a "disease," it's a natural aging process where the intervertebral discs, which act as shock absorbers between your vertebrae, wear down over time. This can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility, significantly impacting one's quality of life. At Commonwealth Pain & Spine London, a leading pain management clinic in London, KY, our dedicated team of dual-board-certified physicians and specialists offers a comprehensive, personalized approach to treating degenerative disc disease, helping patients find lasting relief and regain their active lifestyles.

Call (606) 559-1237 or contact us online today to schedule an appointment and learn more about degenerative disc disease treatment in London, KY.

Treatment Options

The vast majority of degenerative disc disease cases can be effectively managed without surgery. Our non-surgical approaches focus on reducing pain, improving function, and preventing further degeneration. These may include:

  • Medication Management: Prescription and over-the-counter medications can help control pain, reduce inflammation, and alleviate muscle spasms. This may include NSAIDs, muscle relaxants, or neuropathic pain medications.
  • Physical Therapy: A cornerstone of DDD treatment, physical therapy programs are tailored to strengthen core muscles, improve posture, increase flexibility, and enhance spinal stability. Therapists guide patients through specific exercises and stretches designed to reduce pain and improve mobility.
  • Steroid Injections: Image-guided injections, such as epidural steroid injections or facet joint injections, deliver powerful anti-inflammatory medication directly to the affected area. This can provide significant pain relief by reducing inflammation around compressed nerves or irritated joints. While not a long-term cure, injections can offer a valuable window of pain relief to engage more effectively in physical therapy.
