Degenerative Diseases

What is Degenerative Diseases?

Degenerative diseases affecting the spine, such as osteoarthritis, degenerative disc disease (DDD), and spinal stenosis, are conditions that gradually worsen over time, often causing chronic back pain and limited mobility. These diseases primarily result from the natural aging process, wear and tear on the spine, or underlying medical conditions. At ActiveCare Physiotherapy & Rehab, we specialize in helping patients manage and alleviate the symptoms of degenerative diseases, promoting improved function and quality of life.

Why Do Degenerative Diseases Happen?

Degenerative diseases develop due to several factors, including:

Aging:

Natural wear and tear on the spine’s bones, discs, and joints over time.

Repetitive Strain:

Occupational or lifestyle habits that place repetitive stress on the spine.

Injuries:

Previous injuries to the spine can accelerate degeneration.

Genetics:

A family history of degenerative spine conditions can increase susceptibility.

Lifestyle Factors:

Obesity, poor posture, and a sedentary lifestyle contribute to the progression of degenerative conditions.

Understanding these contributing factors helps in both treatment and prevention.

Common Symptoms of Degenerative Diseases

Symptoms of degenerative spinal conditions vary depending on the severity and location but often include:

Chronic Back Pain: Persistent or intermittent pain that worsens with activity or prolonged sitting/standing.
Stiffness: Reduced flexibility and difficulty moving, particularly in the morning or after rest.
Nerve Pain: Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling in the legs or arms caused by nerve compression.
Loss of Mobility: Difficulty performing everyday activities due to pain or restricted movement.

If you experience these symptoms, early intervention is key to managing the condition effectively.
