Degenerative Spinal Disorders

Degenerative Spinal Disorders

Degenerative spinal disorders are age-related conditions that affect the discs, joints, and bones of the spine, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. At The Brain & Spine Clinic, these conditions are managed with a personalized approach focused on pain relief, spinal stability, and improved quality of life.

Treatments

Degenerative spinal disorders may require treatment for conditions such as:

  • Cervical and lumbar spondylosis
  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Spinal canal stenosis
  • Facet joint arthritis
  • Chronic neck and back pain
  • Nerve compression causing sciatica

Treatment options range from conservative care and minimally invasive procedures to advanced spine surgery, depending on the severity of the condition.


Causes

Degenerative spinal conditions commonly develop due to:

  • Natural aging and wear of spinal structures
  • Loss of disc hydration and flexibility
  • Poor posture and sedentary lifestyle
  • Repetitive stress or heavy physical work
  • Previous spinal injuries

These changes may gradually worsen over time if not properly managed.


Prevention

While degeneration cannot be completely avoided, progression can often be slowed by:

  • Maintaining good posture and ergonomic habits
  • Regular exercise to strengthen back and core muscles
  • Maintaining a healthy body weight
  • Avoiding prolonged sitting and heavy lifting
  • Seeking early medical advice for persistent spinal pain

Early diagnosis and timely treatment can help preserve mobility and reduce the need for major surgical intervention.
